Retiring a number is the highest honor a franchise can bestow, a way of saying that one person's contributions were so extraordinary that no one else should ever wear that number again. For Phillies fans, these numbers are more than digits on a jersey — they are touchstones of pride, memory, and the deep love of a city for its team.
#20 - Mike Schmidt (Hall of Fame)
Few players in baseball history defined a franchise the way Mike Schmidt defined the Phillies, and his number 20 was retired as a permanent tribute to an extraordinary career spent entirely in Philadelphia. Schmidt slugged 548 home runs as a Phillie and drove in 1,595 runs, numbers that stand as a testament to his dominance at third base over more than a decade and a half. He was the heart of the 1980 World Series championship team and remains, for so many fans, the greatest Phillie who ever lived.
