Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Eric Allen will be inducted this weekend to the Pro Football Hall of Fame while former Phillies shortstop and World Series Champion Jimmy Rollins will be inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame.
What great memories these two Philly greats gave sports fans over the years! Eric Allen, who had 54 career interceptions and nine defensive touchdowns was one of the best cornerbacks ever to wear an Eagles uniform.
Rollins was the Phillies spark plug who led the Phillies to five consecutive National League titles, back-to-back National League pennants and a World series Championship from 2007-2011. We will look at both players' careers this weekend.
The Phillies made a major move at the trade deadline by acquiring flame-throwing closer from the Minnesota Twins Jhoan Duran. Duran, who throws over 100 mph is considered one of the best closers in the league. Did Phillies President of Baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski do enough to put the Phillies in a good position to
make a run to Red October?
