After he had an excellent season in 1974, (32/88, .301), his 3rd season wit the White Sox, he was traded away for a bag of balls, Why??

Very nice man. Used to see him when I was a kid. He’d come home to North Jersey in the off-season⚾️

A good man

Jeff caught Sandy Koufax perfect game on 9/9/65....against the Cubs

I love the 90s White Sox growing up watching them. But i always wonder if the Sox would’ve kept Jeff and not brought in Gene Lamont how much better they would’ve been. Gene was OK but I don’t think he had the connection that Jeff had not even close.

Nice video man.TY. Jeff was a good coach a great person.

A truly great baseball man loved the game played and managed so well RIP.

GRACIAS...THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS. I liked Jeff and was sad when he was replaced in 92. Keep the videos coming. RIP Jeff!!!

A disaster for the mets

Except for his managing stint with the Mets, Jeff Torborg was a good manager for the other clubs he managed, and a good tutor to his players, he could relate to them without giving in to them when they didn't produce. A good catcher with the Dodgers and other teams, and I think he played his college ball at Rutgers, rest in peace.

I can see why his players loved to play for him.

As an old Angel fan Jeff was a Angel catcher in the early to mid-seventy when I first started following the club and MLB. I believe he caught at least one of Nolan's no-hitters for us. He was a bright spot on a team which had very few

1990 was a special year like 1977 and 2005. All were not expected

The Sox could ve gone further is he decided to return in 91. He decided to return to New York, but we all must remember, When you make something special, staying is usually the best thing to do , Not leaving because thinking there is something greener . 6:59

I think there was a weekly radio show called "Timeout with Torborg"

He was a very good manager. That was a great team!

Man, that was a fun team to watch!

These are my generation of Sox

Richie Allen glove was my first back in 1964. RIP RICHIE

❤The Man

Do you have the audio for na na hey goodbye song like where is the video

Please bring America back.

Maybe they should have a statue for him, too, especially if he goes into the Hall as a White Sox.

Had to laugh hearing the scooter broadcasting the game.

At Busch stadium dad took my brothers and I to the ball game. We left early to beat the crowd. The Cards were losing, then while waling out of the stadium Ken Reitz hits a walk off. My brothers and I were so mad.

Nancy’s organ was on the 3rd base line. Not the first base line.

Finally in the HOF.to late but it's still sweet.

Why was Vin Scully at Comiskey Park?

I remember going to some games in Chicago and many times he would line drive homeruns balls just clearing the fence in centerfield but hit a bullet.

Great reporting…the stadium was always the lowest attendance in the league.

I saw Dick Allen hit one at Tiger Stadium that landed on the left field roof and rolled back down and landed on the field. What a great power hitter.

He was awesome!

I saw Richie Allen hit home runs at both Connie Mack Stadium and Veterans Stadium. The ones at Connie Mack were earlier in his career before his hand injury. They were mostly screaming line drives as opposed to the ones at the Vet. He was older then, and although the hand had healed, Allen never had that vicious power he came up with in ‘64. Had he not gotten in with the wrong crowd in North Philly, he would have rewritten the record books.

Yeah, things like that happen❤

I alway called him "Dick Allen." I believe he preferred that to "Richie." Hell of a ball player!

I left that day too, I don't believe he (Allen) started the second game I do remember it was hot, and Comiskey was packed, to my regret I missed it. Just think, you can't have a bat day in today's society, over 20,000 lethal weapons in the stands.

Comiskey Park was essentially the biggest tavern in the city, just like the old vendor said, the place smelled like stale beer. The concrete floors were sticky with spilt beer everywhere you walked. Cigarette and cigar smoke wafted through the air, along with the smell of grilled onions too. And Andy the Clown with the light up nose circulating through the crowd yelling “LETS GOOOOOOO WHITE SOOOOOOOOOOOX”. The place was a fun time then when Bill Veeck owned the team. Like Harry used to say on his broadcast ”You can’t beat fun at the old ballpark.”

I was at that game, too. We missed the second game completely. My Dad wasnt a baseball fan, and didn't know what a double header was! We left between games and he didn't understand why 10 year old me was so sad. He felt terrible, and I forgave him a million times but he made it up to me 10 million times over! Love and miss you Dad!

Richie Allen should have been a lifelong Phillie!

Any more films - home movies of 1959 World Series? Cannot believe there isn't a kinescope of any of those games. Great documentary. Used to go to Sunday double-headers.

Willie Stargell had a story about Dick Allen when he played in Philly and hit a Homerun out of the Connie Mack Stadium the fans booed him because they were angry that he didn't leave them with any Souvenirs that's how strong he was well deserved in the HOF.

Had a similiar experience in Yankee Stadium against Red Sox. 1978 Yankees out of race but Red Sox, so stadium full. Yanks down a couple of runs, 2 out in 9th. Roy White up with a runner on against dominant closer Bill Campbell. White way past his prime. Sitting in right field. I say to friend Patrick, " Let's go and beat the crowd ". Out we go. Outside we hear a huge roar. Run across River ST. to Stan's Sports bar On tv we see replay, White hit a homer close to where we were sitting. Hard to believe but we ran back into the stadium and sat back into our seats ! Couldn't do that today.! Yanks won in xtra innings , RBI single by Reggie. Richie Allen was one of the most gifted players of all time. Like Mantle, tremendous power and speed. Injuries and the race track hurt his career. A nice guy and a rebel, when rebels were not appreciated.

68 years old and ever time playing baseball as a kid … I was always Dick Allen … Richie Allen … all time baseball hero… from Canada

Yup remember watching him from Highland & Valpo always on a fuzzy screen UHF channel 32 WFLD back in the day.

My friend had a bite of Richie’s chili dog.

Over 100,000 claiming to have been at this game. Cool, but over 2 million have claimed to have been at Woodstock. 😂

As a Yankee fan, the thing I remember about Dick Allen the most is that he always seemed to hit the ball out of the deepest part of the park, center field, and clear Monument Park and the wall by plenty.

Phil rizzuto did white Sox games or Phillies? Then moved onto the Yankees in what year?

BAT DAY? THIS. IS ...A LONG TIME AGO......When life was SAFE.

Ritchie Allen, became Dck Allen. He out grew Ritchie.
