1st Game.....Seven years old. 1970 Connie Mack Stadium. 1st row right field foul line. What a night...all of that green grass, fans & the smells of the park...can remember them to this day. Anyway, went with Mom & Dad to see Richie (Dick) Allen make his retun to Philly. Joe Torre, who was the MVP that year, hit 2 massive homers over the roof in Left Field....think the Cards won, but who cared! Almost got a foul ball of the bat of Richie Allen...it was coming down the line too fast, looked as big as a bolder and scared me to death! What fun....Loved Richie Allen & my Phils even then..........
