Before 1900 and “dead ball” era:

While these men played during a time when batting averages were generally higher and power production was lower, they made their mark while in Philadelphia and are worth mentioning.

Sherry Magee (1904 – 1914)

Ed Delahanty (1888 – 1901)

Delahanty is second in franchise history among outfielders in hits and leads with  a .348 batting average. He hit over .400 three times and over .300 ten times. One of the top hitters of his era, Delahanty amassed 1286 RBI, 442 doubles, 157 triples and 411 stolen bases with the Phillies.

Sam Thompson (1889  – 1898)

Thompson surpassed the 100 RBI mark eight times, was a three-time hit and RBI leader and twice lead the league in home runs. He had 1469 hits, 957 RBI and a .303 average while in a Phillies uniform.
