Roy Thomas took a lot of bases on balls…Seriously, it was a lot!

The city of Philadelphia had every reason to love Del Ennis, a local boy who we could argue was the original “Whiz Kid”.

The Phillies starting Rightfielder for the Phillies throughout the 1960s (save for a couple years at left) Johnny Callison came with heavy expectations (some called him the next Mickey Mantle) but while he was never pegged as a Hall of Famer during his career this is still a three-time All-Star.

While Jim Bunning played and won significantly more games and was named to more All Star Games (5 to 2) as a Detroit Tiger, he will always be far more known for what he accomplished in Philadelphia.
