Gotta say, Chairman, I think that's an excellent idea.
Feds have taken pretty much everything else, might
as well take the name too.

Hate him, of course. :lol:

Mitch Williams lived in my town back then. After the game, in true Philly fan fashion, we (not me personally) egged this house.
I’m sure you have an alibi...
No need. The statute of limitations has run. :)
I remember when Southinton CT’s own Rob Dibble was with the Reds. Some kids from Bristol went down to see a game and saw dibble in the outfield. His back was to the crowd. The kids kept trying to get his attention. A kid finally yelled out “Hey Rob we are from Southington can we get your autograph”....he turned and said, I don’t give a FCUK where you are from”....what a guy.

I went to a Red Sox/Phillies inter league game in 04 (maybe, 03) was rained out and made up in Sept so close to the Vet demo. In centerfield and it was like a back and forth 14-12 home run derby. Red Sox had Bying Hung Kim and Mesa both blow late leads and were in between Sox and Philly fans were so disgusted with their own guys one dude shouts out, “hey Red Sox f**k, well trade our sh**head closer for your jerkoff closer!”

Johnny Callison, who was my favorite player as a kid. Johnny was the MVP of the All-Star game in 1964, hitting a three run home run late in the game to win it for the National League.

Yes, Ashburn had retired by then. His last season was in 1962 for the Mets where he was managed by Casey Stengel.

After his playing career, Richie became a long time broadcaster for the Phillies. Boy, did he have some great Casey Stengel stories.
As a Redbird fan, 1964 was my favorite season & maybe the best pennant race ever.. I'll never forget the pennant clincher. It was a Sunday, the final day of the season. It was the start of my Jr year in HS. I had just played a HS FB game the day prior (played both ways). To work off the stifness, we were playing our day after ritual touch FB game at Detgens Grove, down by Big River. We were listening to the game on a big transistor radio on the sideline. We stopped playing & listened to the 9th inning. I'll never forget Harry Caray screaming "the Cardinals win the pennant, the Cardinals win the pennant".

It was a 4 team race, down to the final week. It was a monumental Phillie phold. Their reputed genius manager Gene Mauch tried to emulate the '48 Braves pennant winning stretch run of Sphan & Sain & pray for rain. He started Jim Bunning & Chris Short with minimal rest & they just ran out of gas. He had other good starters in Art Mahaffey & Ray Culp. I don't recall why he didn't use them, if they were injured or not. The Cards went on to beat the Yankees in 7 games. That 64 Cardinal team remains my favorite. Those Phillies, Reds & Giants teams were great teams as well.

When I was a kid I used to go to Cooperstown every HOF weekend with my parents. Always game, sometimes induction, but also buy old cards and get autographs. Knowing the story about Juan Marichal bashing John Roseboro over the head with a bar I refused for like five years to get Marichals autograph. Finally did one year, my dad told him I wasn’t a fan of what he did to Roseboro and Marichal was very nice and explained how he had made amends or whatnot w John.

Excuse me, I thought we were talkin baseball here. You want to discuss race, go to the baseball forum.

Anyway, I recall watching the ‘64 World Series at school. Must have been game 7 played on a Thursday. The teacher had a TV wheeled into the classroom. How times have changed.

Yup. It was Bunning and Short, Bunning and Short, Bunning and Short.

Mauch really blew it.

Mahaffey was on the mound when Chico Ruiz stole home. Art wasn’t holding him on third so Chico got a real good jump. Art, a right hander, only caught a glimpse of him as he was racing down the line, but it so rattled him that he threw it to the back stop. The catcher, Clay Dalrymple, couldn’t even get his mitt on it.

Not sure about this, but I don’t think Mauch had much confidence in Mahaffey after that.

After losing 10 games in a row, the Phillies won their last two games of the season. Whoop de doo. And, by the way, their victory over the Reds on the last day of the season gave the Cardinals the pennant. You’re welcome.

You guys are really dredging up some bad memories about that 1964 pennant race. Ugh.
