Sunday in New York turned into the Bob Allison show as he showed the Yankee outfields the vast expanse of the big ball yard in the South Bronx. Jim Perry was the grateful recipient of such offensive support guiding the visiting Twins to their third win in four in NY, losing his shutout like many others have, a home run off the bat of Mickey Mantle.
