Phillies legend Bobby Abreu has been selected to join the Wall of Fame this summer as one of the franchise’s all-time great hitters.
Abreu, known for being a tremendous hitter whose legacy is buried in one of the worst eras of Phillies baseball, was the favorite among 10 finalists.
Other notable candidates on this year’s ballot were Scott Rolen, Placido Polanco, Jim Fregosi, and Manny Trillo.
In nine seasons with the Phillies, Abreu compiled a 47.2 WAR, the sixth-highest in franchise history behind Mike Schmidt, Chase Utley, Ed Delehanty, Richie Ashburn, and Sherry Magee.
