Turn Back The Clock: The 1964 Phillies (OOTP 18)

Turn Back The Clock:
The 1964 Phillies
(OOTP 18)




Welcome to my Turn Back The Clock dynasty featuring the 1964 Phillies, and brought to you by the fantastic OOTP 18!
The 1964 Phillies, as I'm sure most of you know, suffered one of the biggest collapses in baseball history, when they blew a six and a half game lead with twelve games to play by agonizingly losing ten of those last twelve games.
Obviously the goal here is to reverse that, but it won't be easy.
The Giants, Braves, Reds and Cardinals all have strong clubs, we definitely have our work cut out for us.
Of course this dynasty will continue beyond 1964, and into future seasons, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
As for the rules, here's a quick rundown:

- Historical minors will be active for this dynasty, so each and every club with have an active and full set of minor league teams.

- In order to make things less predictable, I will NOT be using recalc, choosing instead to let the OOTP talent system do its thing.

- Each December, beginning in 1964, an entry draft will take place for new players entering the league.

- Free agency and arbitration, yes free agency and arbitration will make an early arrival in this universe as players with 4 years of service are eligible for arbitration, and those with 8 years of service eligible for free agency.

- Expansion, club movement, divisional realignment, the dreaded DH, all will take place according to history.

-I will not claim anyone put on waivers, in order to be signed a player must clear waivers and become a free agent.

-Trading is set to Hard/Neutral. Injuries are on normal. Other than that its standard operating procedure, Play Ball!

Phillies Steadily Build Team Into Flag Contender


Richie Allen talks strategy with manager Gene Mauch last September


By Milton Richman
UPI Sportswriter

Clearwater, Fl. - Some GM's get the glory, some set the gravy, and others get the ballplayers.
John J. Quinn belongs to the third group and that is the chief reason why the once futile Philadelphia Phillies are now full blown contenders for the National League pennant.
When he came over to the Phillies from the Milwaukee Braves a few years ago he inherited possibly the most unenviable job in all of baseball.
Gradually, however, he instituted moves designed to lift the Phillies out of the cellar. He firmed up the farm system, signed such fine looking young pitchers as Ray Culp and Dennis Bennett, even though the Phils didn't always have the final bid in the frantic bonus auction, and engineered some excellent trades.
Quinn also stood solidly behind his field manager, once even through a dismal 21 game losing streak, with the result that he now has one of the most capable young leaders in the majors, in 38 year old Gene Mauch.

Recall Whiz Kids
The current Phillies are not too unlike the 1950 edition which won the pennant in a down to the wire finish with the Dodgers.
The "Whiz Kids" of that year relied heavily on a pair of pitchers like Robin Roberts and Jim Konstanty, two up-and-at-'em infielders like Granny Hamner and Willie "Puddin Head" Jones, and a thoroughly efficient, if not mighty outfield, composed of Richie Ashburn, Del Ennis, and Dick Sisler.
Today's Phillies boast an even stronger pitching staff than they did then. The infield could be even better than the one 14 years ago, particularly if rookie third sacker Richie Allen pans out, and the outfield of Johnny Callison, Wes Covington, and Tony Gonzalez certainly packs more punch than the flychasers of 1950.
There is nothing wrong with the catching either. Clay Dalrymple will be in the lineup against right handed pitching, and Gus Triandos, obtained from the Tigers, should help boost the Phillies home run total against lefties.

Seventh To Fourth
Under Mauch, the Phils vaulted from 7th place in 1962 to 4th place last year. They could be the first under the wire this year.
"The Phillies look like the most improved club in the league to me," offers Dodger pitcher Don Drysdale, who won 13 straight games from them through 1962, then could not beat them even once last year.
"They have a fine manager, and real good pitching," Drysdale added. "We look for them to give us a tough battle this year."
So do a lot of others.
Mauch, who claims "You can't have enough starting pitchers," has such men to choose from as right handers Jim Bunning, Art Mahaffey, Cal McLish, and Culp and left handers Chris Short and Bennett.

Acquired From Tigers
Bunning had a 12-13 record for the Tigers last year, but is itching to add at least another five or six games to that total to show them they made a mistake by trading him.
Mahaffey, a potential 20 game winner, had a 7-10 mark last year which can be pretty much discounted because of an injured right ankle which kept him out of action from July 30 until the final week of the season.
McLish, more effective than ever even though he is 38, had a 13-11 log in 1963; Culp's 14-11 record helped make him the NL rookie pitcher of the year; Short started last season by losing his first eight games but ended with a 9-12 mark and an earned run average of 2.95, and Bennett, another 20 game possibility, was 9-5 even though he broke his left ankle in an auto accident and did not report to the Phillies until mid season.
Screwball pitcher Jack Baldschun who was 11-7 last year with a 2.29 ERA, heads a bullpen that also will have Dallas Green(7-5), Ryne Duren(6-2), and Johnny Klippstein(5-6).

Trade Demeter
There is a feeling the Phils hurt their attack by dealing Don Demeter to the Tigers, but the 22 year old Allen has made that trade look good so far this spring with his home run hitting. Allen had 33 homers for Little Rock last year and drove in 97 runs while batting .289 in the International League.
He will open the season at third base, with Bobby Wine probably at shortstop, Tony Taylor at second, and veteran Roy Sievers at first.
Ruben Amaro and Cookie Rojas are available for utility duty, and rookie Costen (Shock) Shockley, a left handed hitter who batted .335 with Chattanooga, will backup Sievers at first base.
Callison, who hit 26 homers and had 78 RBI will be in right field, with Gonzalez (.306) in center.
The left handed hitting Covington (.303) is the normal left fielder and Mauch will probably platoon him with rookie Danny Cater, who brings a .291 average from Little Rock.
For the numerical minded, the Phillies won 87 games last year, only 12 less than the world champion Dodgers.
Mauch thinks he has a better club this year, and it could well be he has the best one.

Thursday April 9th, 1964


Writers Pick LA, Yankees


Dodgers lefty Sandy Koufax was 25-5 with a 1.88 ERA a year ago


By Mike Rathet
AP Sportswriter
The Los Angeles Dodgers will again win the National League pennant afyer a tight three way struggle with San Francisco and St. Louis while the New York Yankees run still another American League pennant up the flag pole with considerable ease.
That's the script authored for the 1964 season by the 294 sportswriters and broadcasters voting in the Associated Press' annual preseason poll.
The voting indicates the Dodgers will nip the Giants and Cards, becoming the first National League champion to repeat since the Milwaukee Braves in 1957-58.
At the same time, the Yankees will be emphasizing their supremacy over Minnesota and Chicago en route to their 5th consecutive American League crown.
The mixed opinions about the pennant chances of the Dodgers, Giants, and Cardinals were reflected in a tight vote that left only 300 points separating the teams after they drew some 7,500 in the balloting on the basis of 10 points for a first place vote, nine for a second, etc...
The Dodgers edged the Giants for the top spot by only one first place vote and a mere 62 points.
The Dodgers were named the top team on 102 ballots and drew 2,634 points. The Giants received 101 first place votes and 2,572 points.
The Cardinals, without Stan Musial for the first time in 22 years, nevertheless received solid support with 52 first place votes, and 2,318 points.
In the American League the Yankees re-emphasized the respect they command. The Bombers rolled up 205 first place votes and 2,826 points. That was 400 more than Minnesota's homer hitting Twins, who grabbed 39 first place votes and 2,375 points.
The Chicago White Sox finished third with 28 first place ballots and 2,276 points.
The predicted final standings:

American League
1. New York Yankees
2. Minnesota Twins
3. Chicago White Sox
4. Detroit Tigers
5. Baltimore Orioles
6. Cleveland Indians
7. Boston Red Sox
8. Los Angeles Angels
9. Kansas City Athletics
10. Washington Senators

National League
1. Los Angeles Dodgers
2. San Francisco Giants
3. St. Louis Cardinals
4. Milwaukee Braves
5. Cincinnati Reds
6. Philadelphia Phillies
7. Pittsburgh Pirates
8. Chicago Cubs
9. Houston Colt 45's
10. New York Mets

April 9, 1964

- A heart specialist said yesterday that Birdie Tebbetts would not return to his job as manager of the Cleveland Indians this season.
Dr. Arthur V. Dudley said the 54 year old Tebbetts was enjoying a normal convalescence from a heart attack he suffered last week, but added: "He will not be back this season."

-The Houston Colt 45's will wear black armbands during the National League baseball season in memory of Jim Umbricht. The big right handed relief pitcher died yesterday of cancer, 13 months after it was discovered, he was 33.

-Minnie Minoso, a 41 year old greybeard, who possibly has been shaving almost that long, has survived baseball's unkindest cut. Long thought to be older than his announced 41, Minoso is expected to be the White Sox #1 pinch hitter and a spare outfielder

- An unidentified Major League club has agreed on a long term lease of a proposed new stadium in Atlanta, Ga. a city official announced yesterday.
Arthur Montgomery, chairman of the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority said yesterday that the lease would cover at least 15 years. Montgomery said the identity of the club would remain secret until the 1964 season ended. The authority hopes to entice a professional football team as well.

Finley's Porch Is Constructed
Right field in Kansas City's ballpark will soon be a green and gold near replica of New York's Yankee Stadium. The next question is what, if anything, can the American League do about it. A's owner Charles O. Finley calls the V-shaped right field fence a "pennant porch" because he contends the Yankees pennant dynasty was built with easy home runs in their stadium. "We can't get the Yankees to conform to honest distances, so I'll conform to Yankees distances," said Finley.

I'm liking the newspaper theme going with some of the entries. You write very well and have a journalist's attention to current events and such. Keep up the good work.

Finley's pennant porch must come down


A's Porch Must Go
Ford Fricke, commissioner of baseball, and Joe Cronin, president of the American League ordered A's president Charles O. Finley in stern words to take down his "pennant porch," a green and yellow near replica of the right field sector in Yankee Stadium, where the foul line homer distance is 296 feet.
Finley gave no hint of his next move earlier today, saying: "First I want to give Mr. Cronin and Mr. Fricke the courtesy of a phone call, which is more than they gave me. "I'm trying to be nice and within the rules but I have more moves in mind if they can't see the fairness in this."
"My manager Ed Lopat, was a great pitcher with the Yankees," said Finley. "I've talked to others. It's a fact you have to pitch differently in Yankees Stadium than the other nine parks. It's unfair.
"The show hasn't changed in 18 years in the American League," he said. "As an owner, I'm concerned. Yankee domination could reach the point of no return. They win because their hiters learn to take advantage of the stadium with cheap homers.
"Why shouldn't there be a screen in Yankee Stadium to compensate for the homer distance of less than 325 feet in the rule book?
In Boston it's only 315 to left, but the wall is 37 feet high, not 51 inches like in Yankee Stadium.
"Certainly my porch is against the intent of the rule, but what about the Yanks? The rule says 325 feet to the pole, not the nearest fence and I'm within the rule. I can't operate on intent."
Fricke indicated it was a matter of principle with him too, as he declared,"there's only one interpretation and I make that. There's no hearing, no appeal, no nothing."

Johnson Has Opening Pitch
President Johnson, an old hand at making a pitch for votes, makes a new kind of pitch tomorrow- on opening up the 1964 American League baseball season.
A tall right hander who describes himself as "an old first baseman," Johnson has predicted he will handle the job credibility. After the ceremonial toss, Los Angeles and Washington, a pair of tailenders hoping for better things, will play the first game of the season. A sellout crowd of 45,000 is expected at D.C. Stadium under variably cloudy skies and mild weather with temps reaching upwards of 70 degrees.
The presidential pitch is an ancient ritual, dating back more than half a century, Johnson is the 10th president to honor the tradition.

O'Toole is Reds' Pick To Face Colts' Bruce
A overflow crowd of 32,000 fans is expected to jam Crosley Field Monday afternoon for the 1964 National League baseball opener between the Cincinnati Reds and the Houston Colt .45's. Game time is scheduled for 2:30PM weather permitting.
Cincinnati traditionally gets to inaugurate each new season because it is the home of the first professional baseball team. The other eight teams swing into action on Tuesday.
Manager Fred Hutchinson tapped 17 game winner Jim O'Toole to take the hill for the Reds, while Houston manager Harry Craft chose righty Bob Bruce as his starter. Bruce was 5-9 a year ago with a 3.59 ERA.

Thanks! I actually started this last year on another site, so I already had to material, but going forward from here its all new stuff. I like adding in the current events of the day, gives the reader some backdrop as to what was happening during the time.

Monday April 13th, 1964



Reds, Halos Win As Baseball Season Gets Underway


President Johnson tosses the ceremonial first pitch in Washington D.C. today


Chance Dominates Senators
President Johnson showed off his strong right arm, and a taste for popcorn, as he helped kick off the 1964 baseball season in the nation's capital.
On the field, the story was none other than 22 year old Angels righty Dean Chance(1-0), who allowed just one unearned run on 6 hits while walking none and striking out 5 in a 5-1 complete game victory over the Washington Senators.
At the plate, SS Jim Fregosi, and 3B Felix Torres led the way, with Fregosi collecting two singles and knocking in a pair, and Torres launching two solo homers.
The clubs will resume the series on Wednesday with the Angels Fred Newman taking on the Senators' Tom Cheney.

O'Toole Tames Colts
Reds ace Jim O'Toole twirled ten innings of shutout ball, allowing just six hits and three walks while striking out six as the Cincinnati Reds opened the 1964 campaign with a tense 1-0 victory over the Houston Colt .45's on a 10th inning RBI single from Don Pavletich off of Colts starter Bob Bruce.
Despite the loss, Bruce was also magnificent, allowing just one run on seven hits and a walk with seven strikeout in nine and a third innings pitched.

World Champs Open Tonight
Sandy Koufax, baseball's man of the year last season with 25 victories and a stellar World Series will try to get the Dodgers off and running tonight as he faces Bob Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium.
A sellout crowd is expected despite the champs' poor showing against the Angels over the weekend in their exhibition series.

New Manager, Same Ol' Yankees
The defending AL champion Yankees are eager to get off to a good start under new manager Yogi Berra, and that all gets underway today, as the Yanks Whitey Ford locks horns with Boston's Wilbur Wood at Yankees Stadium today.

Dream Come True For Conigliaro
A year ago, a then 18 year old Tony Conigliaro, had daydreams of playing center field for the Yankees, much like his idol, the one and only Joe DiMaggio. Less than a year later, the now 19 year old is about to see his dream come true when takes the field at Yankee Stadium as the starting right fielder for the Boston Red Sox. "If I'm still dreaming," said Conigliaro, "please don't wake me."

Phils Win Wild Opener
Despite a 6-0 third inning deficit with their ace Jim Bunning on the hill, an injury to starting catcher Gus Triandos, having the winning run thrown out at the plate in the 9th, falling behind again, this time in the 11th, and a 30 minute rain delay, the Phillies somehow emerged victorious on opening day, defeating Casey Stengal and his Mets by the score of 8-7 on a game winning 11th inning bases loaded single by Tony Gonzalez off of Mets reliever Larry Bearnarth.
Along with Gonzalez, who ended the day 4 for 6 with 3 RBI, the Phils also got big games from 2B Tony Taylor, who went 4 for 6 with an RBI and 3 runs scored, and rookie third baseman Richie Allen, who was 3 for 6 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored.
On the mound, the trio of Rick Wise, Ryne Duren, and Dallas Green combined for five innings of solid relief, with the 18 year old Wise looking especially good, striking out 2 in two innings of perfect relief.
The 35 year old Duren, a veteran in his 9th year, was his usual solid self, allowing just a single in an inning of scoreless relief.
One of the last players to make the club, 29 year old Dallas Green was in line for the loss despite a good performance in which he allowed a run on 3 hits while fanning 4 in 2 innings of work, thanks to the heroics of Gonzalez however, he walks away the winner.
WP: Dallas Green(1-0) LP: Larry Bearnarth(0-1) HR: NYM, Larry Elliot(1)

Triandos To Miss 2 Weeks
Injured on a slide attempt late in the game, Phillies catcher Gus Triandos suffered a strained knee ligament and was placed on the disabled list. In his place the Phils called up 23 year old catcher Pat Corrales from Little Rock.

Ford Wins 200th
Yankees hurler Whitey Ford entered the record books today, picking up win number 200 for his career in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

Marichal Blanks Braves
Giants ace Juan Marichal was absolutely dominant this afternoon, allowing just four hits and walking none while striking out 3 in a complete game 2-0 shutout of the Milwaukee Braves here at Candlestick.

Koufax Bests Gibson, Cards
Picking up right where he left off last season, Dodgers lefty Sandy Koufax allowed a run on 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7 over 7 strong innings to help lead the champs to a 2-1 victory over Bob Gibson and the Cardinals. As for Gibson, he went the route in the loss, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 4 walks while striking out 5 over 8 innings pitched.

Not This Time
Still Smarting from yesterday's blown lead, Mets batters came out with a chip on their shoulders and walloped Phillies pitching for 21 hits on their way to an easy 14-8 victory here at Connie Mack Stadium.
1B Duke Carmel started the hit parade with a 3 run homer in the first, and from there they just kept coming. RF Joe Christopher was 4 for 6 with a double a 3 runs scored, LF Frank Thomas was 3 for 6 with a homer, 2 RBI, and a run, CF Jim Hickman had 3 hits and 2 RBI, as did 2B Ron Hunt. On the mound, starter Tracy Stallard was credited with the win, allowing 4 runs(2 earned) on 9 hits and 4 walks while striking out 1 over seven innings pitched.
For the Phils, starting pitcher Dennis Bennett was shelled to the tune of 9 earned runs on 12 hits in just 3 innings pitched, while at the plate CF Tony Gonzalez and RF Johnny Callison each had three hits and an RBI each while LF Wes Covington added 2 hits, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored.
WP: Tracy Stallard(1-0) LP: Dennis Bennett(0-1) HR: NYM, Frank Thomas(1), Duke Carmel(1)

Drysdale Stifles Cards
On the heels of Sandy Koufax's tremendous performance, teammate Don Drysdale did him one better, allowing just 3 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7 in a 3-0 complete game victory over the Cardinals.

Culp Shines In Victory Over Cubs
2B Tony Taylor, and LF Wes Covington each had two hits and an RBI, RF Johnny Briggs added a single and an RBI, and SS Bobby Wine singled home a run, all in support of 22 year old starter Ray Culp, who was absolutely fantastic, holding the potent Cubs attack to a run on six hits and a walk while striking out five over eight full as the Phils took game one of their three game set with the Cubs by the score of 4-1 here at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
For the Cubbies, starting pitcher Bob Buhl went the distance in defeat, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks while striking out 4. At the plate, RF Lou Brock was 2 for 4 with a solo homer, and 1B John Powers was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk.
WP: Ray Culp(1-0) LP: Bob Buhl(0-1) S: Jack Baldschun(1) HR: CHI, Lou Brock(1)

Phils Callison Injured
The Philadelphia Phillies will be without starting RF Johnny Callison for a week or so due to a strained oblique suffered against Chicago.

Mays To Miss 2 Weeks
Giants star CF Willie Mays suffered a mild hamstring strain in a 3-0 win against the Cardinals on Thursday and will be out of action for about two weeks.

(3-1)Phillies - 9
(0-4)Cubs - 2
A two run home run from SS Bobby Wine capped of a spectacular 6 run first inning for the Phillies who went on to defeat the still winless Cubs by the score of 9-2 here at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Starting pitcher Chris Short turned in a workmanlike performance for the Phils, allowing a run on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 over 7 innings pitched for his first win.
At the plate, LF Wes Covington continued his hot start, going 2 for 4 with a double, a walk, 2 RBI, and a run scored, catcher Clay Dalrymple tripled home two runs and scored, and center fielder Tony Gonzalez, who's now hitting .588 in the early going, added 2 more hits including a double, while also knocking in a run and scoring twice.
The lone bright spot for the Cubs, 3B Ron Santo ended the day 3 for 5 with a triple, and a solo homer.

On the offensive side of things, the Cubs got RBI singles from Billy Williams in the 3rd, and an RBI ground out from Jimmy Williams in the 6th, with both runs coming off of Phils starter Art Mahaffey, who despite the loss turned in a good performance, allowing jist 2 runs(1 earned) on only 2 hits and 3 walks while striking out 3 in 6 innings of work.
Johnny Briggs had a pair of hits in four AB's to pace the offense.

April 20 & 21, 1964
Shea Stadium, Queens NY

Monday April 20, 1964: Phillies 6 Mets 7
Trailing 6-2 in the bottom of the 8th and facing Phils ace Jim Bunning, the Mets mounted an improbable comeback, tying the game on an 8th inning grand slam by 3B Jim Hickman before winning it in the 9th on a solo homer from LF Joe Hicks. Acquired in an offseason trade for popular third sacker Don Demeter, Bunning had his second straight poor outing for the Phils, allowing 6 runs on 9 hits and 2 walks while striking out 5 over 7 and a third, giving him an 8.10 ERA after two starts.

Tuesday April 21, 1964: Phillies 4 Mets 0
Phillies starter Dennis Bennett twirled 8 innings of shutout baseball, allowing just 3 hits while walking 4 and striking out 5 before handing the ball off to reliever Jack Baldschun, who just one day after allowing a game winning home run to Joe Hicks, pitched a scoreless 9th to secure the Phils 4-0 victory.
At the plate, the Phils were led by 1B John Herrnstein, who went 3 for 4 with a two run double, and catcher Clay Dalrymple who was 2 for 4 with an RBI and 2 runs scored.
