Phillies lineup sounds like an aisle in the MLB HOF..... 1-Bake Mcbride RF 2-Larry Bowa SS 3- Mike Schmidt 3B 4-Greg Luzinski LF 5- Richie Hebner 1B 6- Gary Maddox CF 7- Bob Boone C 8- Davy Johnson 2B 9- Jim Lonborg RHP I was 15 and used to love to listen to the Phils on the radio. I remember sitting on the porch on a warm summer night. watching the lightning bugs in the backyard with the game quietly playing in the background.
Just looked up Jim Wright on Baseball Reference. He pitched in 24 games for the Royals in 1981-82. Never made it into a game with the Phillies. Then there was another Jim Wright who pitched for the Red Sox in 1978-79.
Per the broadcast, Hank Aaron could not help Pat Rockett. Pat played 55 games in 1978 & batted .141. He spent the entire 1979 season in AAA before being traded to the Blue Jays in the 79/80 off season. Rockett never played a game for Toronto and retired the following season.
