Did you cover the collapse of the ‘64 Phillies? Some of us still regard that September with dread, even more than fifty years on. They were a great team, grappling to overcome the Giants and then the Reds down the stretch. Then, St. Louis came out of nowhere and backed into a pennant. Some day I will replay 1964; but meanwhile have started with the Phillies back in 1960, when they prematurely got rid of Richie Ashburn, Curt Simmons, Robin Roberts, Don Cardwell and made a lot of bad personnel choices.
