Larry Bowa was an excellent fielding Shortstop throughout his lengthy 2,247 Game tenure with the Philadelphia Phillies.  Five times Bowa would lead all of the National League Shortstops in Fielding Percentage and was also in the top ten in Defensive bWAR five times, culminating in 1978 where he led everyone in the National League regardless of position. 

Known as “The Bull” for his stocky 255 pounds on his 6’ 1’’ frame, Greg Luzinski was one of the most popular players for the Philadelphia Phillies throughout the 1970’s.

There is a good chance you have never heard of Charlie Ferguson as he could make the claim as being one of the most forgotten great players in history.  He also can make a claim of having one of the more tragic tales too.

In the last half of the 1970s Garry Maddox was the best defensive Centerfielder in the National League.  After being traded from the San Francisco Giants, Maddox would win the Gold Glove eight consecutive times while also twice leading the Majors in Defensive bWAR.  Maddox was not a bad player with the bat either as he collected 1,333 Hits with Philadelphia with a .284 Batting Average.  While he helped Philadelphia win the 1980 World Series his best year was in 1976 where he batted .330 and was fifth in National League MVP voting.  The Phillies added Maddox to the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 2000.
