For the second year in a row, the Phillies will be sending a former player to the Baseball Hall of Fame as Roy Halladay will be posthumously inducted this year. His family opted to have him wear a blank cap on his plaque, as to not disrespect Toronto or Philadelphia, both of which he loved playing in.
With this year’s voting now in the books, it’s a good time to look forward to the 2020 ballot. Curt Schilling, Scott Rolen, and Billy Wagner will return to the ballot while Bobby Abreu, Cliff Lee, and Raul Ibanez will be eligible for the first time.
