The link on Yahoo reads

Ruiz steals home, powers Phils over Reds

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.

Historical perspective toward the bottom of this story.

That is really weird. I wonder if Rosie Ruiz is related to either of them.

If either of the baseball Ruiz's stole home while riding the bullpen cart, then perhaps.

I think you're both missing the point on this one.

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.

No Wills, no Brock and no Henderson on the list.
