Pat Gillick and the late Roy Halladay will be inducted onto the Phillies Wall of Fame during Alumni Weekend, marking the second year a non-living player hasn’t been inducted. The circumstances of that are both grim and disturbing following the Pete Rose debacle and Halladay’s untimely death.
Next season is set to bring a new era of Phillies inductees that could include only the second player from the 2008 World Series team, following Pat Burrell in 2015.
There’s also a possibility the team adds more players from the less-illustrious early 2000s, which had some of the franchise’s greatest players stuck in a lengthy rebuild.
