With five Phillies on the All-Star team, we ask posters to pick the biggest pro sports star in Philadelphia?
Roy Halladay will sure get a lot of votes and he’s starting for the National League in tonight’s All-Star game on Fox.
But is Halladay even the best player at his position in Philadelphia?
Here is a look at the candidates and you can vote for your favorite in our poll.
Poll copied from FoxSportsPhilly.com
1. Roy Halladay. Eight-time All-Star for Toronto and Philadelphia. Threw no-hitter in playoffs. But Halladay has been in Philadelphia for just two seasons and has no World Series ring.
2. Cliff Lee. Passed on a huge contract with the Yankees to return to the Phillies this season. Maybe the best playoff pitcher in baseball.
3. Cole Hamels. Heading for a huge payday, Hamels led the Phillies to a 2008 World title.
4. Ryan Howard. The slugging first baseman has put up huge numbers at the plate since 2005, is a league MVP and rookie of the year.
5. Chase Utley. Perhaps the most underrated Phillies player, Utley played a key role in bringing a world title to Philadelphia.
6. Michael <nobr style="color: rgb(43, 101, 176);" id="itxthook0w2nobr" class="itxtrst itxtrstnobr itxthooknobr">Vick
</nobr>. The most discussed pro sports star in Philadelphia, Vick is now the franchise player for the Eagles, replacing Donovan McNabb.
7. DeSean Jackson. The electric receiver can make the biggest plays in football, as the New York <nobr style="color: rgb(43, 101, 176);" id="itxthook1w4nobr" class="itxtrst itxtrstnobr itxthooknobr">Giants
</nobr> can tell you. Another All-Pro for the Eagles.
8. Chris Pronger. The Flyers all-star defenseman in one of the toughest players in hockey. Pronger has a Stanley Cup on his resume.
I left Bernard Hopkins and Andre Iguodala off because the poll will only accept 8 entries...
