1894's Outstanding Outfield Hall of Famers to be Recognized by the Phillies: Remarkable Trio Batting Average Reached .400
Revised Article:
Yo, gonna tell ya 'bout a legendary outfield trio from the Phillies organization, alright? These dudes, Delahanty, Hamilton, and Thompson, were straight-up ballers back in the day. From '91 to '95, they were the regular outfielders for the team. Now here's where it gets interesting: all three of 'em batted a freakin' .400 during the same season, the wacky year of '94!
Now these guys played before uniform numbers were a thing, so they're gonna be given their respective era insignias, just like the legends who had their numbers retired by the team. These badges are gonna be displayed on that brick wall above Ashburn Alley at Citizens Bank Park, right next to the retired numbers. Plus, they're gonna have 'em showcased on those disks in the left field plaza, too.
The ceremony for these outfieldin' legends goes down before the game against the Nationals this Thursday night. The Phillies have already retired the numbers of Ashburn, Bunning, Allen, Schmidt, Carlton, Halladay, and Roberts, and got Klein and Alexander's insignias on display. And of course, they've reserved Jackie Robinson's number 42 to honor the man who broke the color barrier.
As for these outfield dudes, well, there's no record of another team's outfield having three players batting .400 in the same season. But these guys did it, so we're giving 'em their due respect. It's not every day you see a .400 average, let alone three dudes doin' it at the same time!
