Phillies fans have a lot to look forward to when it comes to the annual Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. This year’s ballot is chock full of former Phillies after the team has gone with just three inductees since 2005: Jim Thome, Pedro Martinez, and Ryne Sandberg. None of whom, however, entered Cooperstown with a “P” on their hat or are remembered for their time in Philadelphia.
The 2019 ballot features nine former Phillies: Freddy Garcia, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Juan Pierre, Placido Polanco, Scott Rolen, Curt Schilling, Billy Wagner, and Michael Young.
