Message: [QUOTE="Rixxx, post: 3491260, member: 5910"] Being a Phillies fan, I will never forget the 1964 Fightin Phils collapse. With 12 games to play and with a 5 1/2 game lead on Cincinnati, the Gene Mauch led Phillies proceeded to lose 10 games in a row. They won the last two games from the Redlegs and allowed St. Louis to squeak in for the pennant. Local radio "hosts" hammered Mauch for pitching Bunning and Short with two days rest during that stretch. Gene Mauch never came close to winning a pennant again. The Phillies regrouped and won the World Series in 1980. [/QUOTE]
