Phillies Nation has created a list of the 10 greatest left-handed hitters in the history of a franchise that has existed since 1883.
Here’s a few notes on the criteria for this list:
- The only numbers that were considered for this list are those produced as a member of the Phillies. So, for example, Jim Thome would have for sure been on a list of greatest left-handed hitters to ever play for the Phillies if we considered his production in Cleveland and Chicago. But when you only look at the parts of four seasons he spent with the Phillies, the Hall of Famer fell a bit short.
