Who are the greatest second basemen in Philadelphia Phillies franchise history?

In the long and storied history of the Philadelphia Phillies, there have been many legendary players.

Since MLB is currently in lockout and teams can’t sign anyone new, we’re looking back at the most legendary players to ever wear the Phillies uniform. We started with starting pitchers and relievers, then catchers and first baseman. Next up, we’re running to second.

Here are the five most legendary second basemen in Phillies history…

5. Dave Cash, Phillies 1974-76

Dave Cash’s Phillies’ tenure was short but sweet; his three seasons in Philadelphia were the only All-Star seasons of his career, and the only ones for which he received MVP votes.

From 1974-76, Cash hit .296/.348/.371 with a .719 OPS over 484 games in a Phillies uniform.

In addition to being an All-Star in each Phillies season, the man nicknamed Action Dog led all of MLB in at-bats in each of those three years and led all hitters with 213 hits in 1975. The following year, he led the NL with 12 triples.
