When Allen was re-acquired by the Phillies ...Matt,<br /><br />When Allen was re-acquired by the Phillies in 1975, he had missed the entire year to that point, and needed a few weeks to get into playing shape. The anticipation of his impending return to the lineup was unbelievable - almost like a game 7 atmosphere. (After all, Phillies fans hadn't had anything to look forward to for years!)<br /><br />If I recall correctly, after the 1976 season, Allen became disenchanted with the Phillies management (again!), this time because his friend Tony Taylor was left off the 1976 post-season roster.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.com
