The unsung hero of the best era of Philadelphia Phillies baseball will be getting some recognition this May.

The Reading Fightin Phils have announced that former catcher Carlos Ruiz will be inducted into their Baseballtown Hall of Fame on May 30. The Fightins say Ruiz, known affectionately by fans as “Chooch,” will be present for the induction ceremony that will take place before their game against the Akron RubberDucks that begins at 6:45 p.m.

Ruiz played for the then-Reading Phillies in 2003 and 2004.
