	Dick Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Anthony "Dick" Allen (also sometimes known, especially in his earlier years, as Richie Allen, a nickname that he came to despise and attempt to disassociate himself from) (born March 8, 1942 in Wampum, Pennsylvania) is a former Major League Baseball first baseman/third baseman right-handed batter who played for the Philadelphia Phillies (1963-69, 1975-76), St.
		Allen was an immensely talented slugger whose considerable skills were only rivalled by his childish antics and ability to infuriate everyone from teammates to managers to fans.
		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 longtime Phillies star Richie Ashburn.

		Allen contributed to his teams in Philadelphia, St. Louis, Los Angeles and Chicago and was highly regarded by both his managers and teammates, despite the revisionism that has gone on thanks to uniformed comments about Allen published by a certain sabermetrician recently hired by the Red Sox.
		Allen's personal issues were nothing to dwell on, nothing to merit the poor reputation he seems to carry with him and certainly nothing to keep him out of the Hall of Fame.
		Allen rates 15th all-time among first baseman and, after running the numbers James used in his rankings formula, I can say why: It's because Allen received almost no credit for the "subjective record." James' rankings of the top 100 players at each position are based on six factors.

		Allen is a well-established "Expansive" poet, who has worked primarily in narrative and traditional forms.
		A number of the poems are either dedicated to Allen's wife ("Urban Pastoral") or written to her ("If You Get There Before I Do"), and the tenderness of their longstanding devotion is one of the pleasures of reading The Day Before.
		Dick Allen draws the reader into his world using images that lead to reverie, then reminds us why he took us there: to reacquaint us with the richness and joy of American life.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - Dick Allen's HOF Case
		I have advocated against Dick Allen's selection mainly because his disrutpive behavior, well-documented, did much to keep his teams in turmoil, and keep them from winning, to the point where he was a liability to his teams, despite his great ability and, yes, even great numbers.
		Allen was so hated by fans that they threw batteries and pennies at his head (in Philly during the 1969 season, his most tumutuous).
		Allen's only championship teams were the Phillies' division winners he was on in 1976, but he was only a supporting player then, no longer a star.

		The conclusion that Dick Allen was not quite a Hall of Famer came to me one day when I was trying to figure out, in the context of this argument, how Allen had been treated by the MVP voters of his day and whether he had been given a fair shake.
		Allen was a very unstable glove man at third base, making a staggering 41 errors that season, and you can't plausibly argue that he was better than, say, Willie Mays, who hit 47 homers and finished ahead of Allen.
		Allen was traded to the Cardinals in the offseason, as part of the deal that touched off the Curt Flood controversy, with St. Louis looking to fill the void left by the departure of Orlando Cepeda the previous year.

	Expansive Poetry & Music Online Poetry Review
		This is because Dick Allen is one of the principals of the Expansive Poetry movement; leaving him out of programs labeled Expansive Poetry events is like saying "the Metaphysical poets were a terrific lot" while carefully failing to note the writings of John Donne.
		Allen doesn't hide behind euphemism or fashionably desexed language; instead, the poem is a great shout against the naysayers and against fear, the strangler of all living, free expression.
		As such, Allen is a good answer to a question posited in an earlier review about what poets are there who write about what it's like to live in the late 20th century, raising children, working, seeing the miracles and the nightmares specific to our time and place.

	NetShrine Discussion Forum - 1964 - Mickey Mantle v. Dick Allen
		Allen also had more doubles, 38 to 25 and more triples, 13 to 2, more base hits 201 to 141.
		I’ve found this to be a slightly more accurate gauge of offensive value than slugging average (Mantle.591 Allen.557) because a player who hits for power with a low batting average is not as valuable as a player who hits for slightly less power with a higher batting average.
		In summation, Dick Allen had a brilliant rookie season, especially offensively (He made 41 errors at third base!).
