With a deep history, the Phillies are well-represented in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Thirty-five players who suited up for the Phillies have reached baseball’s immortality, the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Through the franchise’s 137 seasons, thousands of players have donned the red, white, and powder blue jerseys.

With Roy Halladay’s posthumous election to the Baseball Hall of Fame, we recognized the former Phillies who he will join in Cooperstown.

Of the 35 former Phillies in Cooperstown, 12 played for the team after 1950, including franchise legend Richie Ashburn, whose career started in the 1940s.

There are 23 other players who played for the Phillies prior to 1950 who are in the Hall of Fame that deserve recognition. Note that Sparky Anderson, who played his entire 152 game career with the Phillies, is in Cooperstown as one of the greatest managers ever, not for his play for the Phillies.

  • Dave Bancroft – 1915-20
  • Dan Brouthers – 1896
  • Roger Connor – 1892

  • Nap Lajoie – 1896-1900
  • Tommy McCarthy – 1886-87
