You don't have to have a cool name to hit an inside-the-park home run for the Phillies, but it doesn't hurt.
Chase Utley recorded the third IPHR of his career Tuesday. That ties him for 15th place on the Phillies' all-time list. The 14 ahead of him:
| Player | IPHR |

Dick Allen is the surprising name on the list. I've never heard of 12 of the players so Boop them.— shawnmac- Considering the size of the Ballbarks of the Dead-Ball era, I'm not surprised Magee has so many career IPHR. I mean Boston had a cavernous center field at 535ft later 635 in the years before Fenway. Of course the Phillies would not be playing Boston regularly but they would play Chicago and West Side Park had a deep Center Field as well. I would have to check other parks, but turn of the century parks had pretty arbitrary sizes in the outfields (which no doubt contributed as well to the dearth of HR in favor of more extra-bases). This would be an interesting topic to study to see if park effects really helped Magee accumulate so many IPHR or if it was sheer talent!— fcolmenarez
- saw a couple of allens inside the parkers in case you don't know allen had tremendous speed and could have signed as a point guard at (number may have been 30)or more major colleges, batted over .300 3 or 4 times for phillies and could hit the ball 600ft or more in his first stint.— only 9
