For just the first time since the 2017 Hall of Fame class and for the third time in six years there will not be a Phillies alumnus inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer.
Curt Schilling fell short of the 2020 class by five percent, failing to join Larry Walker and Derek Jeter as the baseball writer’s choice alongside Ted Simmons and Marvin Miller from the Veteran’s Committee vote last December.
Looking towards the future ballots there will be a number of Phillies eligible for the Hall of Fame. Here are some returning names to watch for when the next ballots are printed for the writers.
