Dick Allen was and is my all time favorite Baseball player. I was at Connie Mack the night he hit that famous long home run! I just loved watching him hit.

Allen , nice guy , but awfully neurotic, broke our hearts twice, in 69 and 76 with the Tony Taylor incident, Great player, but not Hall of Fame worthy,with a little more character he would have been one ! Pete Rose took infield practice during the 76 NLCS, Allen stayed in the tunnel and took a smoke break. Sorry Allen fans

Dick Allen is the most heroic athlete in Philadelphia history. He was light years ahead of his time in so many ways it still boggles the mind. He was the most misunderstood man I ever met and surely one of the finest.

@freein2339 Correction 447 feet....

I saw him hit that grand slam against the Giants in 1965,,,He hit the ball OVER the scoreboard and the Phis won 402...Mays also homered as well as McCovey...Allen also hit a home run in dead center field which was 424 feet.....

Can you believe it. The Ballplayer's song is a hit in Brazil

@rw5791 ---------Williams was a bit of a head case, but his numbers are unbelievable. And this in pre-steroids area, when strike zone and parks were much larger. Even took sev yrs off in early 1950s to serve in Korean war as a fighter pilot. Best all around hitter ever. Allen was very talented and incredibly strong, but was his own worst enemy--it certainly limited his success. Bonds is nothing but a total asshole

@sadapopu Ryan's got the power equal to Allen I think, but has far as better eye, bat speed, running speed its Allen all the way. According to Mays and McCovey Allen was the best hitter they ever saw. Coming from them, enough said comparing the two. The only thing Howard beats Allen is money unfortunately.

@MFIORE7511 He broke your heart twice? In 1969 he was booed out of town by racist fans and a toxic media. In 1976, he got pissed because the Phillies unceremoniously cut his long time friend Tony Taylor right before the playoffs. Taylor had been with the franchise for many bad years - and was on the cusp of finally getting into the post-season. If anything Dick Allen was a man of principal. A ballplayer's character should not be determined if they did or did not take infield practice.
