February is Black History Month, and with Baseball Hall of Fame talk still hot among many fans and scribes, now seems a good time to take a brief look at some Black players who have been considered and voted on but who are not enshrined at Cooperstown, at least not yet.
Phillies 50: Forgotten 1983 – Tony Ghelfi
Right-hander Tony Ghelfi was the rare youngster to get a shot at playing with the 1983 Phillies 'Wheeze Kids', making three September starts.
Phillies 50: Forgotten 1987 – Tom Newell
One inning over two games in September 1987 is all that Tom Newell got in the big leagues, making him perfect for this Phillies 50 series.
Phillies 50: Forgotten 1990 – Chuck Malone
The only seven games in the big-league career for right-hander Chuck Malone came in 1990, making him our 'Phillies 50' pitching rep for that team.
