People Say:
PHI 2 SLN 0 [Top 3rd] [0 Out] [0 balls] [0 strikes] ... No one on [P: Ray Sadecki] [B: Dick Allen]1967 All-Star Game. Tony Perez HR wins it for NL 2-1 in 15. Dick Allen and Brooks Robinson also had solo HRs. How'd I do Joe? 50 yrs. ago.
@ hbryant42 Great article about Dick Allen, and how the HOF isn't about stats alone; culture and temperament were the PEDs of the 60-70s
The 1969 Phillies were low-key as fucked up as this year's team, right down to the racial tension surrounding Dick Allen.
Tony Perez replaced Dick Allen at 3B in the 10th and hit the game-winning homer in the 15th off Catfish Hunter
