Sherry Magee was one of the top hitters of the dead-ball era in the National League.  Essentially if there was an offensive category during the time that McGee was playing in Philadelphia, you would more than likely see his name in the leaderboard.

A farm boy from Nebraska to Baseball Hall of Fame is quite the story for Richie Ashburn, the popular Centerfielder who spent 12 of his 15 seasons with the Phillies.

Ed Delahanty was a highly touted player in the late 1880’s (yes they did think longterm in baseball back then) and after a few years and a quick jump to the Player’s League and back, a refocused dedication to the sport saw him live up to those projections.

Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1938 Grover Cleveland “Old Pete” Alexander might be a bit of a surprise to be ranked so high when he only played eight seasons for Philadelphia, and realistically, we are only really talking about seven of them, as the eight was his final season in Baseball at age 43 where he was not very productive.  However, as we look at the first seven years of Alexander’s professional career you will see a worthy top five entrant on this list of the greatest Philadelphia Phillies of all-time.
