I remember Dick Radatz the most...it was 1964...my home town Phillies were going to win it all...Gene Mauch was pushing all the right buttons until he started Bunning and Short every other game down the stretch during a 10 game losing streak....But it was the All Star game at Shea Stadium... and there was my boyhood idle Johnny Callison facing Radatz in the what I think was the bottom of the ninth...and boom Johnny hits one out down the right field line...I was walking on clouds for weeks.

Speaking of Dick Radatz

Dick Radatz, one of the great relief pitchers in Red Sox history, died suddenly March 16 after a fall in his Easton Mass home. He was 67 years old. Dick's towering presence and 95-mile-per-hour fastball made him baseball's most dominant relief pitcher in the mid-1960s. It also earned him the unforgettable nickname "The Monster" in Red Sox lore. Although everyone called him "The Monster," he was more of a gentle giant. RIP Dick "The Monster" Radatz.
