1965 Topps #203 Dallas Green

In honor of my Mom's birthday, I'll feature a few Phillies cards from the '60s. She wanted to know why I haven't featured any of my '60s cards, so I'll post a few.

Dallas pitched for the Phillies from 1960 to 1964 and again in 1967, compiling a record of 20-22. Of course, Dallas is best know for managing the Phillies to their first World Championship in 1980. He's still with the Phillies as a senior advisor to the General Manager, a position he's held since 1998. In 2006, Dallas was inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame.
