Del Ennis
1946-1959

Del Ennis, born and raised in the Olney section of Philadelphia, hit a pennant winning home run for the Whiz Kids in 1950. Later in life he owned a bowling alley in the area. He also played short periods for the Cardinals and Reds. He had 288 lifetime homers and was also the target of the Philly boo-birds, as were Allen and Schmidt in later years.

Jim Owens
Phils, Reds, Houston
1955-1967

A dependable journeyman and famed member of the Phillies "Dalton Gang" of the late 50's and early 60's. These guys tore up the town!!

Gene Conley
Braves, Phils, Red Sox
1952-1963

I loved this guy! If I recall correctly he was about 6'8" tall. He managed to win twenty games total in his two years (1959-1960) with the Phillies, so he must have known how to pitch too!! He also played pro basketball with the Boston Celtics. I believe he was the FIRST player to participate in two major league sports at the same time.

Bobby Del Greco

I don't remember a lot about Bobby, except his habit of crashing into outfield walls chasing fly balls. He sure looked good doing it though!

Dave Philley
Cubs, Phillies, Indians
Orioles, White Sox, Giants,
Tigers, Red Sox
1941-1962

A .270 lifetime batter with 1700 hits, the well travelled Philley won our hearts mostly because of his name! How could ya not like a guy named Philley!!
