The Phillies are finally done waiting. After years of seemingly avoiding putting players from the 2008 Phillies team that won the World Series on their Wall of Fame (except for Pat Burrell and Charlie Manuel who went on early), the Phillies are finally breaking the seal. Jimmy Rollins will go up on the Wall this summer before the August 1st game vs the Detroit Tigers.

The 2008 Phillies are 1 of only 2 teams in Phillies history that won a World Series. The city itself has a few more thanks to when the Athletics played here, but the Phillies themselves only won in 2008 and 1980.
Anyone with a pulse has already made it from the 1980 team. That well is now dry. They have also put in nearly every player worthy, and perhaps some not so worthy, between 1980 and 2008. The time was coming that they had to start going to the guys from the 2008 team, and now they are finally moving on to the rest of the 2008 guys.
Jimmy Rollins is the first, but a lot of guys from that team are worthy. Especially by the standard we have seen them apply to the 1980 team that won it all. It should give them material to work with for the Wall Of Fame for a long time.
They might have some trouble after that when they have to find guys between 2012 and the Bryce Harper era. There was not much good going on in that decade.
But before we have to worry about that, let’s look at that 2008 team, and who could make it. We know Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, and Charlie Manuel will, because 2 of them are already on it, and 1 is going on it this year. But whose else
