According to Allen Rosenberg, attorney for Local 262 of United Electrical, Radio and Machinery Workers of America, Arruda said Rockcastle "propelled her across the sidewalk by a blow to her chest with his elbow" in a picket-line incident on the afternoon of September...
First Base--Tony Perez hit only .260 and had an off year for the Reds, and Richie "Crash" Allen struggled with a shoulder injury all season. On a hunch that Crash will come through in the clutch for the first time in his career, a slight edge here to the Phils...
...first three outings and in the fourth Sandy Koufax no-hit us (I was angry at Dad because he was cheering for a no-hitter while I wanted Johnny Klippstein to break it up with two out in the ninth.)
