An Hour of Crash on MLB Network

December 26th, 2009 by Matt

Bob Costas recently sat down with Phillies great Dick Allen on for his “Studio 42″ interview show to discuss his Hall of Fame bonafides, the ’64 Phillies, and the racism he experienced while coming up in the Phils’ system.

Allen will be eligible again next year for the Hall of Fame via the Veteran’s Committee, but if last year’s vote is any indication, he will remain on the outside looking in despit Hall-worthy numbers.

Among the revelations in Costas’ interview with “Crash” is that Allen thinks Robin Robert, not Mike Schmidt, is the greatest Phillie ever.

You can’t find the interview online, so you;ll have to keep your eye out on MLB Network’s schedule. Here is an unrelated Allen vid:

Speaking of Robin Roberts, with any luck he will drop to Number 2 all-time in home runs surrendered by a pitcher. Jamie Moyer is just 15 long balls away from passing Roberts.
