Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels might have the greatest pedigrees of any trio of starting pitchers on any team since the Phillies joined the National League in 1883. Halladay is a former Cy Young winner who is building a Hall of Fame resume. Oswalt is a two-time 20-game winner, perennial Cy Young contender and 2005 National League Championship Series MVP. Hamels is the 2008 World Series and NLCS MVP, and is coming into his own as one of the most dominant left-handers in the game.
The celebrated threesome will be in the spotlight starting on Monday, when the first-place Phillies face the Atlanta Braves -- who trail by three games in the NL East -- in a critical three-game set at Citizens Bank Park. Hamels is starting the series opener, and will then be followed by Halladay on Tuesday and Oswalt on Wednesday.
SNIPRuben Amaro Sr. has seen some of the best pitchers in Phillies history. He played for the 1964 Phillies, and served as a coach on the '80 World Series championship team. He maintains strong ties to the organization with his son, Ruben Amaro Jr., serving as general manager.
"I think this is the best," Amaro Sr. said.The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum could not offer MLB.com an answer, but its research department suggested looking at the pitchers that surrounded Grover Cleveland Alexander, Robin Roberts, Jim Bunning and Steve Carlton -- four Hall of Fame pitchers who spent time with the Phillies.
