That's Bobby Shantz who made a surprise visit to the Museum as he relives that infamous day in September 1964 when the Milwaukee Braves Rico Carty hit a bases loaded triple in a crucial game that sealed the Phillies pennant hopes.They had a great laugh today but as Campbell said "it wasn't fun that day I called the play". Sam Carchidi the co-author also enjoyed Bobby's "story".

A's Society member Pat Mulvena of Cherry Hill, NJ made the day bringing in dozens of Philly's famous soft pretzels.
