Phillies Wall of Fame ballots are out and the TBOH staff voted for their inductee

Ten former Phillies are up for induction onto the Wall of Fame this summer. As fans we have the opportunity, no, the obligation to vote for our top five.

A special committee within the organization will then take the top five from the fan vote and make the final choice as to who gets their face etched in bronze.

Each staff member and editor here at TBOH sent in their top three ballot, and we have the results.

Surprisingly everyone had the exact same top-two: Pete Rose and Scott Rolen. Both infielders will most likely make the Wall of Fame, if not the Hall of Fame, some day.

After that, the votes varied a bit differently. Here’s how each staff member voted for this season’s Wall of Fame.

To tally the votes, first place votes gets “three points,” second “two points,” and so on.

Predictably Pete Rose would be our inductee, and most likely fans will see the Hit King be paraded around Citizens Bank Park in a Toyota.
