Phillies years
Allen was an immensely talented slugger, perhaps the best pure hitter Phillies fans had seen since Chuck Klein and before the emergence of Mike Schmidt and later Ryan Howard. Charles Herbert "Chuck" Klein ( October 7 1904 - March 28 1958) was a Major League Baseball player who played for the Michael Jack Schmidt (born September 27, 1949 in Dayton Ohio) is a former professional Baseball player who played his entire Career Ryan James Howard (born November 19, 1979, in St Louis Missouri) is a baseball player who plays First base for the Philadelphia Phillies But his considerable skills were only rivaled by his juvenile antics and ability to infuriate everyone from teammates, to managers, to fans. The Phillies saw his potential immediately and signed him up in 1960 for a large $60,000 bonus. Champions Major League Baseball World Series: Pittsburgh Pirates over New York Yankees (4-3 Bobby Richardson, His career got off to a turbulent start as he faced racial harassment while playing for the Phillies' minor league affiliate in Little Rock; residents staged protest parades against Allen, the local team's first black player.

In Baseball statistics, total bases refers to the number of bases a player has gained with hits, i
His first season in the majors in 1964 was a great one, as he led the league in runs (125), triples (13), extra base hits (80) and total bases (352); he finished in the top five in batting average (.

Playing for the first time at third base, he had a league-leading 41 errors, and he was often given much of the blame by sportswriters for the Phillies' pennant swoon that year, as they lost the pennant by a single game after holding a 6-1/2 game lead with 12 to play, then losing ten in a row (even though Allen hit . 438 with 5 doubles, 2 triple, 3 home runs and 11 RBI in those last two weeks). The Phillies' manager, Gene Mauch, was also criticized for his mishandling of his pitching staff in the last two weeks of the season. Gene William Mauch ( November 18 1925 – August 8 2005; surname was a homonym of "mock" was an American
Allen was one of the top power hitters of the 1960s, a period when baseball was dominated by pitchers. In those years before muscle-building dietary supplements came into use, he was built like Mickey Mantle or Jimmie Foxx, and likewise hit some very long home runs. Mickey Charles Mantle ( October 20, 1931 &ndash August 13, 1995) was an American Baseball player who was inducted James Emory "Jimmie" Foxx ( October 22 - July 21) ( nicknamed Double X and The Beast) was an American First He used a 44-ounce bat, bucking the Ted Williams-inspired trend of using a light bat for increased bat speed, and relied on his massive arm strength to drive the ball. Theodore Samuel "Ted" Williams ( August 30, 1918 – July 5, 2002) also nicknamed The Kid, the Splendid Splinter One memorable shot went over the left-center field roof at Connie Mack Stadium; this home run was the basis of Willie Stargell's noted quote: "Now I know why they (the Phillies fans) boo Richie all the time. Shibe Park, known for the last one-third of its existence as Connie Mack Stadium, was a Major League Baseball park in Philadelphia, Wilver Dornell "Willie" Stargell ( March 6, 1940 &ndash April 9, 2001) nicknamed " Pops " in the later years of When he hits a home run, there's no souvenir.

Although Allen enjoyed several good years in Philadelphia, making All-Star teams from 1965-67 and leading the league in slugging (.

On-base plus slugging (OPS is a baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's On-base percentage and Slugging percentage. 027) and extra base hits (75) in 1966, he quickly wore out his welcome due to erratic behavior.

According to two teammates who witnessed the fight, Thomas swung a bat at Allen, hitting him in the shoulder. Johnny Callison said, "Thomas got himself fired when he swung that bat at Richie. John Wesley Callison ( March 12 1939 – October 12 2006) was an American Right fielder in Major League Baseball In baseball you don't swing a bat at another player—ever. " Pat Corrales confirmed that Thomas hit Allen with a bat and added that Thomas was a "bully" known for making racially divisive remarks. Patrick Corrales (born March 20, 1941 in Los Angeles California) is a former Catcher and manager in Major League Baseball [1]
Even Allen's name was a source of controversy: he had been known since his youth as "Dick" to family and friends, but for reasons which are somewhat obscure at this late date, the media referred to him upon his arrival in Philadelphia as "Richie," possibly a conflation with the longtime Phillies star Richie Ashburn. Don Richard "Richie" Ashburn ( March 19 1927 — September 9 1997) also known by the nickname " Whitey " due to After several years, he asked to be called "Dick," saying Richie was a little boy's name.
The Phillies' fans, known for being tough on hometown players even in the best of times, exacerbated Allen's problems. Initially the abuse was verbal, with obscenities and racial epithets. Eventually Allen was greeted with showers of fruit, ice, refuse, and even flashlight batteries as he took the field. He began wearing his batting helmet even while playing his defensive position in the field, which gave rise to another nickname, "Crash Helmet", shortened to "Crash". A nickname is a Name of an entity or thing that is not its Proper name.
One of Dick Allen's most infuriating moments to fans was on June 24, 1969. Allen was fined $2,500 and suspended indefinitely when he failed to appear for the Phillies twi-night doubleheader game with the Mets. Allen had gone to New Jersey in the morning to see a horse race and got caught in traffic trying to return.
Quick stops in St. Louis and L. A.
Allen finally had enough, and demanded the Phillies trade him. They sent him to the Cardinals in a trade before the 1970 season. Champions Major Leagues World Series MVP Brooks Robinson All-Star Game, July 14 at Riverfront Stadium Even this deal caused controversy, though not of Allen's making, since Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood refused to report to the Phillies as part of the trade. Curtis Charles Flood ( January 18 1938 &ndash January 20 1997) was a Major League Baseball player who spent most of his career as (Flood then sued baseball in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the reserve clause and to be declared a free agent.

Allen earned another All-Star berth in St. Louis, and his personal problems seemed to abate. The Cardinals even acceded to his wishes regarding his name, as Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck made a point from game one of calling him Dick Allen. John Francis "Jack" Buck ( August 21, 1924 &ndash June 18, 2002) was an American Sportscaster, best known
Cardinals manager Red Schoendienst recalled that when he was asked, before Allen's acquisition, if he wanted Allen, he had said "no" because he'd heard Allen had a bad attitude, and the team didn't need him. Albert Fred "Red" Schoendienst (ˈʃeɪ̪ndinst born February 2, 1923) is an American former player coach and manager After the season, when Schoendienst was asked if Allen should be traded, he said "no", Allen had helped the team and his attitude was not a problem.

As Jack Buck said at the time, "Some of the folks in the stadium club might have choked on a chicken leg when they saw that one coming!" Nevertheless the Cardinals traded Allen to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the 1971 season. The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball team based in Los Angeles California, USA

After a relatively quiet year with the Dodgers, Allen was traded to the White Sox for Tommy John prior to the 1972 season. Thomas Edward John Jr (born May 22 1943 in Terre Haute Indiana) is a former left-handed Pitcher in Major League Baseball whose 288 Labor strife and more moving 1972 was tainted by a players' strike over pension and salary arbitration For various reasons, Allen's previous managers had shuffled him around on defense, playing him at first base, third base, and the outfield in no particular order - a practice which almost certainly weakened his defensive play and which may have contributed to his frequent injuries, not to mention his perceived bad attitude. Sox manager Chuck Tanner's low-key style of handling ballplayers made it possible for Allen to thrive, for a while, on the South Side. Charles William Tanner (born July 4, 1929 in New Castle Pennsylvania) is a former Left fielder and manager in Major League Baseball He decided to play Allen exclusively at first base, which allowed him to concentrate on hitting. That first year, Allen almost single-handedly lifted the entire team to second place in the AL West, as he led the league in home runs (37) (setting a team record), RBI (113), walks (99), on base percentage (. A base on balls ( BB) is credited to a batter and against a pitcher in Baseball statistics when a batter receives four pitches that the umpire 422), slugging average (. 603), and OPS (1. 023), while winning a well-deserved MVP award. However, the Sox fell short at the end and finished 5-1/2 games behind the World Series-bound Oakland Athletics. The Oakland Athletics are a professional baseball team based in Oakland, California.
Allen's feats during his years with the White Sox -- particularly in that MVP season of 1972 -- are spoken of reverently by South Side fans who credit him with saving the franchise for Chicago (it was rumored to be bound for Milwaukee or Seattle at the time). His powerful swing sent home runs deep into some of the cavernous old Comiskey Park's farthest reaches, including the roof and even the distant (445 feet) center field bleachers, a rare feat at one of baseball's most pitcher-friendly stadiums. Comiskey Park (35th Street & Shields Avenue Chicago, Illinois) was the ballpark in which the Chicago White Sox played from 1910 to 1990 On July 31, 1972, against the Minnesota Twins, Allen became the first player in baseball's "modern era" to hit two inside-the-park home runs in one game in an 8-1 victory. The Minnesota Twins are a professional baseball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both homers were hit off Bert Blyleven at Minnesota's Metropolitan Stadium. Rik Aalbert "Bert" Blyleven (born April 6, 1951 in Zeist, Netherlands) is a former Major League Baseball Pitcher
The Sox were favored by many to make the playoffs in 1973, but those hopes were dashed due in large measure to the fractured fibula that Allen suffered in June. (He tried to return five weeks after injuring the leg in a collision with Mike Epstein of the A's, but the pain ended his season after just one game in which he batted 3-for-5. ) Despite his making the All-Star team in each of three years with the team, Allen's stay in Chicago ended in controversy when he left the team on September 14 with two weeks left in the 1974 season. Events 81 - Domitian becomes Emperor of the Roman Empire upon the death of his brother Titus. In Crash, his autobiography (co-written with Tim Whitaker), Allen blamed his feud with third-baseman Ron Santo, who was playing a final, undistinguished season with the White Sox after leaving the crosstown Chicago Cubs. Ronald Edward Santo (born February 25 1940 in Seattle Washington) is a former Third baseman in Major League Baseball who played almost The Chicago Cubs are a Professional Baseball franchise based in Chicago, Illinois. [2]
With Allen's intention to continue playing baseball uncertain, the Sox reluctantly sold his contract to the Atlanta Braves for only $5,000 despite the fact that he had led the league in home runs, slugging (. 563), and OPS (. 938). Allen refused to report to the Braves and announced his retirement.
Final playing years
The Phillies managed to coax Allen out of retirement for the 1975 season, and he spent two relatively unproductive seasons there, batting just . 233 and . 268. He moved to the Oakland Athletics for the 1977 season, where he left in his typical style - walking out on the A's when they considered making him a designated hitter. The Oakland Athletics are a professional baseball team based in Oakland, California. Champions Major League Baseball World Series: New York Yankees over Los Angeles Dodgers (4-2 Reggie Jackson, In Baseball, the designated hitter rule is the common name for Major League Baseball Rule 6
Retirement years
After retirement, Allen had a string of bad fortune, with his uninsured house and horse stables burning down in October 1979. Year 1979 ( MCMLXXIX) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1979 Gregorian calendar) He subsequently left his wife for a younger woman; his wife took him to court and got everything he had left, even the rights to his baseball pension. A pension is a steady income given to a person upon Retirement, typically in the form of a guaranteed annuity. He has written (with Tim Whitaker) an autobiography titled Crash: The Life and Times of Dick Allen, which Bill James has called "one of the best baseball books in recent years". An autobiography, from the Greek αὐτός autos "self" βίος bios "life" and γράφειν graphein "to write" George William “Bill” James (born October 5, 1949, in Holton Kansas) is a Baseball writer historian and statistician whose work has been For many years Allen held the distinction of the highest slugging percentage among players eligible for but not in the Hall of Fame. In Baseball statistics, slugging percentage (abbreviated SLG) is a popular measure of the power of a hitter. This only ended in 2006, when Albert Belle became eligible but was not elected. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Albert Jojuan Belle (born August 25, 1966) is a former American Major League Baseball Outfielder for the Cleveland Indians Whether Allen is worthy of the Hall of Fame has been hotly debated, with many people arguing he is the best player not in the Hall. [1] The arguments usually center around his very high career averages, batting (. Batting average is a Statistic in both Cricket and Baseball measuring the performance of cricket batsmen and baseball hitters, respectively 292), slugging (. In Baseball statistics, slugging percentage (abbreviated SLG) is a popular measure of the power of a hitter. 534), and on-base (. In Baseball statistics, on-base percentage (OBP (sometimes referred to as on-base average ', as the statistic is rarely presented as a true Percentage) 378). They also point out that he began his career during the mid-1960's, a period so dominated by pitchers that it is sometimes called the "second dead ball era", and he played some of his career in the pitcher-friendly Busch Stadium and Dodgers Stadium. [2] Detractors of his Hall of Fame credentials argue that his career was not as long as most Hall of Famers, so he does not have the career cumulative numbers that others do. They also argue that his poor defense and bad clubhouse presence took away from his teams much of what his bat gave them. [3] But according to the two managers for whom Allen played the longest -- Gene Mauch of the Phillies and Chuck Tanner of the White Sox -- he was not a "clubhouse lawyer" who harmed team chemistry. Asked if Allen's behavior ever had a negative influence on the team, Mauch said: "Never. " According to Tanner, "Dick was the leader of our team, the captain, the manager on the field. He took care of the young kids, took them under his wing. And he played every game as if it was his last day on earth. "[4]
