As a kid my father followed the Phillies, listening to games on the radio with one of his brothers and guys from the block on the front step of their rowhome on Mercy Street. And suddenly he stopped paying attention to the Phillies for a long while. It wasn’t because of the all-expense-paid trip to southeast Asia provided by the Army.
No, what killed his enjoyment of following the Phillies was the 1964 season.
