It was Alumni Weekend down at the ballpark this past weekend and the Phillies had three separate events to honors members of the organization.
On Friday night former Phillies President the late David Montgomery was recognized after he was posthumously awarded the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award during the National Baseball Hall of Fame Ceremonies last month.
On Saturday night former second baseman Manny Trillo was inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame. The member of the 1980 World Champions was supposed to be inducted last year but Alumni Weekend was cancelled due to the coronavirus.

On Sunday afternoon former pitcher, Wall of Fame and Hall of Fame member the late Roy Halladay had his number retired by the Phillies in a ceremony where his former teammate Raul Ibanez spoke. A Number 34 Monument was also unveiled on the Third Base Plaza by Doc's former catcher Carlos Ruiz.
I tip my cap and raise my glass to all the Phillies legends.
Talk to you soon,
Little Chase
