Who will be on hand as the Phillies remember the 2008 World Series

Following a six game road trip the Phillies will return for Alumni Weekend from August 3-5 when they will induct the late Roy Halladay and former general manager Pat Gillick onto the Wall of Fame.

Halladay tragically passed away in a single-passenger plane crash off the coast of Florida during the offseason. He’ll be the first posthumous inductee to the Wall of Fame since Harry Kalas in 2009.

Gillick was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011 as only the fourth executive to ever reach Cooperstown.

Shane Victorino was also be honored with a retirement ceremony on Friday evening.

On Sunday, August 5, more than two dozen former players and coaches from the 2008 World Series team will be in attendance for a pregame ceremony commemorating the team’s first World Series in 28 years.

Here are the former players and coaches scheduled to appear according to the Phillies website.
