A True Hall of Famer
The Phillies have not produced many Hall of Famers in their 100 year, 10,000 loss existance. Sometimes, rather than be burdened by a great player, the Phils will trade them away for a journeyman like Ivan DeJesus. But despite the best efforts of this inept franchise, Phillies like Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Robin Roberts, and Chuck Klein have been inducted. Today these legends are joined by another superstar: The Phanatic.
Three legendary mascots will be inducted as the inaugural class of the Mascot Hall of Fame today in Center City. The Phillie Phanatic, the Phoenix Gorilla, and the Famous Chicken will be honored.No word if famous Phanatic haters Eric Gregg and Tommy Lasorda will be attending the ceremony. Congratulations Phanatic!.
The festivities begin at 11:30 a.m. at Thomas Paine Plaza (Municipal Services Building), JFK Boulevard and 15th Street.
Also expected are 40-plus mascots from other pro teams from around the country, including Swoop from the Eagles and Hip Hop from the 76ers.
