Somewhere, the ghost of Gene Mauch weeps thinking of this game.
REDS 6TH: Rose grounded out (second to first); Ruiz singled to
right; Pinson singled to right [Ruiz to third, Pinson out at
second (right to shortstop)]; Ruiz stole home; Robinson grounded
out (third to first); 1 R, 2 H, 0 E, 0 LOB. Reds 1, Phillies 0.
No one wants to dwell on the misery of small ball Mauch. If they had won the pennant would Dick Allen's career have been different being on the big stage so early in his career?

Allen's problems in 1964 and later had little to do with the Phillies losing that year. The Phillies fans hated him before the season ended.
