No, I meant Ritchie Allen, played third base for the Phillies in around 1965. For personal reasons, totally unrelated to the guy himself. Never met him, he was a reasonably talented player.

You mean Richie Ashburn, right? ....no...... he meant Dick "don't call me Richie" Allen.................I saw him (on TV) hit a home run at Shea in the late 60s that went out at the 371 sign......but there was a light tower about 50 feet behind the fence that appeared about 100 feet high.......it looked like that ball cleared the tower................later they estimated it at well over 500 feet.
