It is Alumni Weekend down at the ballpark and former Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu was added to the Phillies Wall of Fame in a ceremony before tonight's ballgame against the Chicago White Sox.

Abreu played on the Phillies from 1998-2006 where he was a two time member of the National League All-Star Team in 2004 and 2005.  Abreu also won a Gold Glove Award in 2005 and a Silver Slugger Award in 2006.
