Phillies fans have been lucky to see three former players (Jim Thome, Pedro Martinez, and Roy Halladay) be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in the last decade, but none of them have gone in specifically as a Phillie.
The Hall of Fame hasn’t been friendly to former Phillies, but the Class of 2020 could be very special for the city of Philadelphia and one of the team’s legends.
Dick Allen has criminally been left out of the Baseball Hall of Fame after receiving just 3.7 percent of the writer’s vote in 1983 and never receiving more than 19 percent of the vote over 15 years of eligibility.
