Left fielder Pat Burrell (above during World Series celebration with manager Charlie Manuel) will become the 37th inductee into the Phillies Wall of Fame tonight, prior to the 7:05 p.m. game vs. the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park.
Burrell was the first overall selection out of the University of Miami in the 1998 draft. He made his debut with the Phillies two years later. Burrell began his career as a first baseman, but became the club’s left fielder just a few months later. One of Burrell’s most notable moments was a seventh-inning double in Game 5 of the 2008 World Series. That hit led to the winning run as Phillies captured their second World Championship.
