Chuck Tanner and Dick Allen smiling about something in spring training, 1973. Tanner died today at the age of 82. Before guiding the 1979 Pirates to the World Series he was the Sox skipper for five up-and-down years in the early '70s; his best year was the 87-win 1972 edition of the Sox. Alas, the picture can't show the bright red Sox uniforms of his tenure. The picture is from Corbis Images.
