Allen refused to campaign for Cooperstown before he died in December of 2020. So others did. And it paid off on Sunday when the Phillies legend finally received baseball's ultimate honor.

Mr. Sandberg, a 10-time All-Star and nine-time Gold Glove winner with the Cubs, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. He died Monday due to complications from cancer.

Allen, who was seeking a $100,000 salary from the Phillies in 1967, skipped spring training to work in Kardon Chevrolet's showroom. "To a 9-year-old, he was larger than life," Ed Kardon said.

He coached a team of seventh and eighth graders at St. Denis. Now men in their 70s, they remember "a gentleman and a good person."

The Phillies are flying Tuesday to Los Angeles and closing time feels near. They have Aaron Nola on the mound Wednesday. One more loss and the lights go off.

Utley had his signature October defensive play in 2008 with the Phillies. And now Hernández has his.
