Chris Short – Phillies/P (1959-72) Chris Short was a dominant pitcher for the Phillies in the mid-to-late 1960s. The two-time NL All Star had 83 wins over a five-year period including 20 wins in 1966. Short is 4th all-time on the Phillies leaders list in wins (135), shutouts (24), innings pitched (2,253), and strikeouts (1,585). Short was part of the 1964 Phillies team that blew a 6 1/2 game lead with 12 games to go. Though Short and Hall of Famer Jim Bunning started 8 of the last 12 games, the two stars couldn’t overcome poor hitting and awful fielding. Short, a native of Milford, DE, entered the Phillies Wall of Fame in 1992.
