    There's some discussion over whom should be second. The general consensus being 'none' followed by Brian Carroll. But let me throw out a wild card:

    JP Dellacamera

    The dude has been an American soccer broadcasting legend with calls including the US qualifying for the 90 World Cup and the Women's World Cup final in 99. And has been calling the sport since the 80s if not earlier. We've been really lucky to have him for most of our existence.

    That’s not bad. Either way, I just hope they don’t force people into it like the Phillies have done with their Wall of Fame. Keep it special and for no doubt about it legends (sorry but BC is not that), even if means Seba stands alone for awhile.

    But it’s the Union after all and they need reasons to sell tix so I’m looking forward to Antoine Hoppenot’s induction in 2021.

    A French man calling Philadelphia a beautiful city. I never thought I’d live to see the day.

    I think JP certainly deserves some sort of honor.

    He was the one person I really felt bad for the other night. While being able to attend & commentate for a World Cup is amazing, I know he holds Seba in very high regards and part of him, I'm sure, was sad he was not able to be in Chester on Saturday.

    These have been suggesteded elsewhere, but I'd like to see Al O'Cashun and Owen Goal make it.

    Perhaps a certain American Express card? We'd have no team without it, right?

    The Union may have an official apple sauce partner, but do they have an official credit card partner yet? Maybe they've chosen to leave this revenue stream on the table as a way to recognize the role Nicky Sak's famous AMEX card played in the history of the team.

    Tough to pick a legit #2. Maybe JP when he hangs up the mic.That one trainer with the sleeve tats? Isn’t he the only other original ‘09er?
