Description
The 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park will honor Phillies legends with Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton throwing ceremonial first pitches, caught by Scott Rolen and Cole Hamels — all Hall of Famers who helped define the franchise’s golden era. Schmidt, a 18-year Phillie and 1980 World Series hero, earned 12 All-Star nods and 3 MVPs. Carlton, also part of that championship team, won 4 Cy Youngs and the Triple Crown in 1972. Rolen, Rookie of the Year in 1997, added 2 Gold Gloves and a Wall of Fame spot. Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP and 3-time Cy Young winner, anchored the team’s decade-long run. Tuesday’s game blends future stars with historic reverence — a true celebration of Phillies greatness.
