A 7 time All-Star, Dick Allen won the 1964 NL Rookie of the Year and the 1972 AL MVP Awards. He is one of only 28 players to have won both a ROY and an MVP Award.
Allen is one of only 10 players in baseball history to retire with 350+ home runs, 1000+ RBI, 1000+ runs, 100+ stolen bases, and 75+ triples.
He is also one of only five players in MLB history to retire with 350+ home runs, a .290+ BA, a .375+ OBP, a career OPS+ of 155 or higher, 75+ triples; and 100+ stolen bases. The other four are Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Lou Gehrig.
Hall of Famer Goose Goosage once called Allen "the greatest player I've ever seen play in my life" and the Wall Street Journal dubbed Allen “the best player eligible for the Hall of Fame”. Despite his statistics and accolades HOF induction eluded Allen, who passed away in 2020.
Allen is up election on the 2025 Classic Baseball Era ballot. Will he finally get into Cooperstown this year?
