Ryan Howard, Cadillac
& Kelly Cadillac
A Philadelphia Phillies legend. An iconic American luxury brand.
And a Cadillac relationship that became part of the Kelly Cadillac story.
Ryan Howard: The Big Piece
For more than a decade, Ryan Howard was one of the most recognizable players in Philadelphia sports. Known to Phillies fans as “The Big Piece,” Howard became one of baseball’s most feared power hitters and a defining part of one of the greatest eras in Phillies history. Howard spent his entire Major League career with Philadelphia, from his debut in 2004 through his final Phillies season in 2016.
A Career Built on Power
Ryan Howard’s Phillies Story
Philadelphia selected Howard in the fifth round of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft. After advancing through the Phillies’ minor-league system, he reached the Major Leagues in 2004.
Howard was named National League Rookie of the Year in 2005 and followed it with an extraordinary 2006 season that earned him the National League Most Valuable Player Award.
His power became a defining part of the Phillies teams that captured five consecutive National League East titles from 2007 through 2011, highlighted by Philadelphia’s 2008 World Series championship.
Two Iconic Legacies Meet
Cadillac became the Official Luxury Auto Partner of the Philadelphia Phillies, bringing the Cadillac name to Citizens Bank Park and one of its premier destinations, the Cadillac Hall of Fame Club.
It is a natural connection between an American luxury brand with more than a century of history and a baseball organization filled with generations of unforgettable players — including Ryan Howard.
Ryan Howard Chooses
Kelly Cadillac

Ryan Howard’s connection with Cadillac goes beyond Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies legend chose Kelly Cadillac in Lancaster, Pennsylvania when purchasing his Cadillac ESCALADE IQ.
Following the purchase, Kelley Kelly and Geoff Kelly personally delivered Ryan’s ESCALADE IQ to him in Atlanta. The relationship continued when Ryan returned to the area for the BIG All-Star Game and spent time at the Jersey Shore. Kelly Cadillac made sure an Escalade was waiting for him while he was back in Pennsylvania.
At Kelly Cadillac, taking care of a customer does not end when the vehicle leaves the showroom. Whether the road leads to Lancaster, Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore or Atlanta, our goal remains the same — provide an ownership experience worthy of the Cadillac name.
The Cadillac ESCALADE IQ
Howard’s choice of an ESCALADE IQ connects one Philadelphia icon with another American icon entering a new chapter. The ESCALADE IQ brings Cadillac’s flagship luxury SUV into the electric era with advanced technology, dramatic design and the unmistakable presence associated with the Escalade name.
A Pennsylvania Cadillac Connection
Phillies baseball reaches far beyond Philadelphia, and Kelly Cadillac is proud to celebrate Cadillac’s connection with the team — and especially proud that Ryan Howard chose Kelly Cadillac for his own Cadillac journey.
