Was a pretty good outfielder for the Phillies in the 60's

3 run bomb off of ****** "Monster" Radatz in the All Star game the year he played out of his mind. Radatz was virtually untouchable before that for the lowly BoSox back then.

What made ya think of him Al?

Taking up Trish's challenge to do thread topics with Allison in them. Radatz was so big (for that time, but just a little above average size for pitchers of today) he was scary, and that was quite a year...

Your memory is better than mine, so I looked it up. It was '64, the year the Phillies phainted and lost 10 of their last 12 games, blowing a big lead and a ticket to the World Series.

I turned 11 the summer of 64 so not much was more important to me back then.

and I looked up the Allison thread thang, don't know how I missed it.
