While the Phillies' White players and club officials had been welcome to stay at Clearwater's Jack Tar Harrison Hotel, the Hotel refused service to the team's Black players who boarded in private homes.

On February 6, 1962, the Phillies announced that Roberts' uniform number 36 would be retired by the team on March 21, 1962, when the Yankees would visit Clearwater to play the Phillies in a spring training game. It was the first uniform number to be retired by the organization and only the second time (after the Yankees retired Babe Ruth's number 3) that a uniform number was retired while the player was still active.Roberts is 'Retired' St. Petersburg Times February 7, 1962 https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fiQMAAAAIBAJ&sjid=e1IDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5915,3321691&dq=phillies+uniform&hl=en 3-C Roberts started for the Yankees in the spring game, gave up four runs in three innings, and was the winning pitcher as the Yankees won 13–10.Yanks' Two Homers Help Beat Phils, 13–10; Mets 1–0 Victors Over Tigers John Drebinger New York Times March 22, 1962 https://select.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F50811F6385C137A93C0AB1788D85F468685F9 Regular season 'Phillies Special' Rail Accident The Pennsylvania Railroad ran a line from Harrisburg to Philadelphia that often carried fans from central Pennsylvania to games at Connie Mack Stadium. It was advertised on Phillies radio broadcasts as the "Phillies Special". At 5:07 PM on July 28, 1962, en route to the Phillies 8:05 PM game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, four cars of Pennsylvania Railroad's Extra 4878 East derailed 3.7 miles east of Harrisburg in Steelton, Pennsylvania. Three of the cars toppled down a 30-foot embankment to the Susquehanna River. There were 19 fatalities and 119 were injured. The following day, on Sunday, July 29, 1962, at Connie Mack, the Phillies honored the victims with a moment of silence prior to the game's start.Fitzpatrick Frank January 17, 2020 'Phillies Special':
