Nearly every Phillies player we know and love today stopped at Double-A Reading on their journey to the majors. If they became quality major-leaguers in their career, more likely than not they did fairly well in the minor-leagues as well.
Reading will induct three new members into their Hall of Fame this summer on Aug. 15 prior to that evening’s game. Those three are former Fightin’ Phils Brett Myers and Mike Spidale along with Wyomissing, PA native Rich DeLucia.
Myers was originally drafted by Philadelphia in the first round of the 1999 draft from Englewood Senior HS in Jacksonville, FL.
