It was 1964 and the Philadelphia Phillies were on their way to the National League pennant. World Series programs were printed. The team received 63,000 ticket requests for the World Series. Then it happened, an unthinkable ten game collapse. Frank Thomas got hurt. Jim Bunning and Chris Short repeatedly pitched on two days rest and the media was relentless. William C. Kashatus is author of September Swoon, Richie Allen, the '64 Phillies and Racial Integration published by the Penn State Press.
