Opening day is just around the corner for the Phillies — so it’s an appropriate time to look back at the legacy of one of the best and most controversial Phillies in history: Dick Allen.
He’s the subject of the new book “God Almighty Hisself: The Life and Legacy of Dick Allen.” NewsWorks Tonight host Dave Heller spoke with the book’s author, Villanova University law professor Mitch Nathanson.
