Tony Phillips never made an All-Star team, and he only had one year where he received votes for an MVP (16^th in 1995).  Yet, here we have a player worth talking about among some of those worth a Hall of Fame look.

Tony Phillips had a long career spanning eighteen seasons but his five in Detroit clearly reflected the best offensive numbers of his career.  Phillips would lead the American League in Runs Scored in 1992 and in Walks in 1993, a season he also batted .313 and finished 16th in MVP voting.  The versatile player also put up his best defensive output as a Detroit Tiger.
