While Elmer Flick would enter the Baseball Hall of Fame as a Veteran’s Committee inductee mostly for what he did for Cleveland, the first four seasons of his career with Philadelphia cannot be discounted.
Shane Victorino made history in 2009 as the first Hawaiian to become an All-Star and it was a well earned honor for the then Philadelphia Phillie. Victorino, also known as “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” was an exciting player who would use his speed to twice lead the NL in Triples (2009 & 2011) and would have four seasons with 25 Stolen Bases. He was a two-time All-Star and a three time Gold Glove but his career highlight had to be winning the World Series with Philadelphia in 2008.
Throughout the 1910’s, Fred Luderus would smack 130 or more Hits eight times with a total of 1,322 for the Phillies. The First Baseman would have four 10 Home Run Seasons, a huge amount in the 1910’s while also having a pair of .300 Seasons (1911 & 1915)
While he was not the most successful member of the Philadelphia Phillies throughout the 1980’s, there is no doubt that he was one of the most popular.
