As a result, the Phillies had their first winning season in eight years.

Both Mike Schmidt and Dave Cash lobbied Owens to acquire Dick Allen. Allen had to be persuaded by several of his future teammates that both the organizational and racial climate in Philadelphia had changed for the better since his 1969 departure from the team. On May 4, the Phillies traded their first baseman Willie Montañez to the Giants for Garry Maddox which provided a bat for the outfield and opened first base for Allen.Phillies Deal Montanez to Giants for Maddox Ralph Bernstein Lewiston Daily Sun May 5, 1975 https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=MGIgAAAAIBAJ&pg=2142,735075&dq=garry+maddox&hl=en 18 The Phillies acquired Allen three days later on May 7, 1975. Fans welcomed Allen's return. On May 14, 1975, 30,908 fans came to Veterans Stadium for Allen's return to Philadelphia and saw Steve Carlton shut out Cincinnati by the score of 4 to 0. Allen played first base, batted fifth between Greg Luzinski and Mike Schmidt and was given a standing ovation when he stepped into the batter's box in a Phillies uniform for the first time since the final game of the 1969 season. Allen lined a two-out single to center, prompting another standing ovation.Bill Conlin: A stroll down Allens lane Bill Conlin Philadelphia Daily News December 9, 2009 The Phillies celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1950 pennant winning team on August 16, 1975 prior to the team's matchup with the San Diego Padres.
