Living Players who played for the Phillies at least 60 years Ago.
A Don Hasenmayer-related post from the phillies.com message board.
You can find a lot of rankings by age so I thought I'd try something a little different and rank living ex-Phillies by the most years ago that they made their Phillies team debut.
Since 2016 has almost run it's course I took the liberty of using 2017 as the base year.
