Steve "Lefty" Carlton ⭐ Phillies Great
Growing up a Bucs fan gave me ample opportunity to admire the prowess of Steve "Lefty" Carlton.
He was one of the best pitchers of all time and a Pirates nemesis.
He could hit too.
As a sign of the respect I have for "Lefty" I keep signed ball and card display in my house.

2006 Topps Triple Threads Relics Auto ⭐ Chase Utley, RBI, #2/18
Chase Utley is widely regarded as both a great baseball player and a person of tremendous character.
On the field, Utley was an elite all-around second baseman: a perennial All-Star, Silver Slugger winner, Gold Glove–caliber defender, and a central figure in the Phillies’ 2008 World Series championship. Advanced metrics consistently rank him among the best second basemen in MLB history, combining power, patience, defense, and baserunning.
Off the field, Utley is known for professionalism, work ethic, humility, and respect for the game. He is deeply involved in charitable work, especially in helping underprivileged children and child educational causes through his Chase Utley Foundation.
Chase Utley is a serious contender for enshrinement in Cooperstown.

1959 Topps #352, Robin Roberts ⭐
I'm not a Phillies fan, per se, but Robin Roberts was an all-time great pitcher and Phillie.
He was one of baseball’s toughest, most reliable aces of the 1950s and Hall of Famer.
Roberts was famous for taking the ball every fourth day and finishing what he started. From 1950–1955, he averaged over 300 innings per season.

1958 Topps Philidelphia Phillies #134, John Kennedy RC ⭐ MLB Pioneer
This is key card in my MLB Pioneer Collection and John Kennedy's only image on a flagship card during his brief MLB career.
Like many early professional African-American players, John Kennedy was denied a meaningful opportunity to play at the highest level because of the color of his skin.
He was 30 years-old, on April 22, 1957, when he made history becoming the first African-American player to appear in a game for the Philadelphia Phillies, breaking the team’s color barrier a full decade after Jackie Robinson integrated Major League Baseball. Kennedy’s debut came as a pinch-runner against the Brooklyn Dodgers, symbolizing both progress and the Phillies’ long-delayed step toward integration.
