The Philadelphia Phillies have a history stretching back to the 1883 season in the National League.
Many players, front office personnel, and others have contributed greatly to the team and its enjoyment by the fan base since that time.
I ran a series for Fansided's "That Ball's Outta Here" website during early January that highlighted those who I considered the "Top 20 Phillies of All-Time", those individuals who my research found had played the largest roles in team success and enjoyment.
Those twenty individuals are listed here. Just click on each name to view their individual story and contribution to the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
Ten of them are already on the Phillies Wall of Fame. At least four others, and possibly a few more, are sure to eventually end up honored there by the club itself.
As always with this type of list, it is purely subjective. It is my opinion and rank. I am quite sure others would list different players, or some of these in a different order. Would love to hear your own ranking as well.
