The Phillies went years without a new representative in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but recently there’s been a flood of alumni inducted into Cooperstown. Pedro Martinez, Jim Thome, and Roy Halladay broke a long streak of modern-day Phillies players getting into the Hall that dated back to Ryne Sandberg in 2005.
Here we’ll take a look at former Phillies who would make strong cases as future Hall of Fame candidates.
I’m not including the obvious candidates here, guys like Curt Schilling (who fell short last year), Pete Rose, Scott Rolen, Billy Wagner, etc.
