Vote for your favorite candidate

Once again in 2012, fans will have a voice in which former player, coach or manager is selected to the Phillies Wall of Fame this year. Voting is underway and ends at 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 14, 2012.

Fans can select their top three choices from a 12-man ballot of Phillies alumni. A first place vote is worth five points, second place three points and third place one point. The top five fan consensus choices as determined by total points will serve as the official ballot for a special Wall of Fame Selection Committee that will choose this year's inductee.

Induction Day - Induction ceremonies at Citizens Bank Park are set for August 10, prior to the 7:05 p.m. game against the Cardinals. A 14"x20" cast bronze plaque will be added to the Toyota Wall of Fame display located in the Memory Lane section of Ashburn Alley.

The following day, August 11, is Phillies Alumni Night in which former players living in the tri-state area will be introduced pre-game.
