Three former Philadelphia Phillies All-Stars appear on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this cycle, and they join four holdovers, all of whom made at least one All-Star team during their time in red pinstripes.
Franchise icons Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard — both of whom last played in 2016 — are on the 2022 Hall of Fame ballot, the museum announced Monday. As is Jonathan Papelbon, who is the franchise’s all-time saves leader.
Rollins was a three-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove Award winner and the 2007 National League MVP. 2,306 of Rollins’ 2,455 career hits came in red pinstripes, making him the Phillies all-time leader in base hits.
