The Flyin’ Hawaiian Soars onto the Hall of Fame Ballot

From 2007-2011, Phillies baseball was the hot ticket in Philadelphia. It hadn’t been since 1993 that the Philly Phaithful had something to be excited for in red pinstripes.

During that time span, one of the most exciting and fun to watch players in baseball was coming into their own. Most fans in Philly knew him as “The Flyin’ Hawaiian”.

Shane Victorino did it all as a Phillie. Slick plays, clutch hits, an infectious smile, Victorino was truly a fan favorite.

Just 2 years ago, Victorino took his daughter Kali’a to the hallowed grounds of Cooperstown.
