Batting leadoff for the Phillies is a revered position, with the heralded names of Richie Ashburn, Lenny Dykstra, and Jimmy Rollins in the minds of fans from every generation. Behind each of them, in the run-producing spot, there was a slugger just waiting to knock them in.
Ashburn had Del Ennis with eight seasons with 20+ home runs and 95+ RBIs. Dykstra had John Kruk and Darren Daulton leading the Phillies to the ’93 World Series. Rollins, the 2007 MVP/WS Champ/Silver Slugger, had the devastating trio of Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell who combined for 336 RBIs.
