A rare combination of power and speed, Bobby Abreu had on-base skills ahead of his time. Traded to the Phillies on November 18, 1997, he played in 1,353 Phillies games and batted .303 with 348 doubles, 195 home runs, 814 RBI, 947 walks, 254 stolen bases, and a .416 on-base percentage. He was selected to two NL All-Star teams in 2004-05 and won a Silver Slugger in 2004 and a Gold Glove in 2005. In 2003, Phillies fans voted him the right fielder for the all-vet team. At the time of his Wall of Fame induction, he ranked in the Phillies top 10 in on-base percentage, walks, doubles, slugging percentage, stolen bases, RBI, extra-base hits, batting average, runs, and total bases.
