March 10 , 1966 Third barman Dick Allen of the Philadelphia Phillies is bark on base Monday after stealing home.
But the $65,000 question remains: How deep Is the lift between All-Star infielder and the Philadelphia Phillies’ high command?
The Phillies’ management is apparently disenchanted with the fence-busting Allen who makes a reported $65,000 a year, because he left training camp of his own accord last Thursday. And Allen, who returned to camp Saturday after a two-day visit to Philadelphia during which he had his Injured right hand examined, Is apparently not too happy with management. In fact. Alien refused to say hello to general manager John Quinn during practice Sunday.” I’ll be glad to talk about fishing, basketball, football. but T don’t want to talk aboui baseball or Richie Allen” told to one reporter.
