5 Deserving Phillies Legends Who Deserve Future Wall of Fame Consideration

This weekend, a key member of the 1980 World Series championship team — Manny Trillo — became the 42nd member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization to be inducted into the team’s Wall of Fame.

Considered one of the Phillies’ highest honors, the Wall of Fame features alumni who made a significant impact. This tradition began in 1978 when both Phillies and Philadelphia Athletics were enshrined in a 200-level display at Veterans Stadium — originally called the Philadelphia Baseball Hall of Fame.
