About Richie Allen
Card #460 is Allen's first solo Topps card, a sixth-series issue carrying the Topps All-Star Rookie trophy for his 1964 selection. The season behind it ranks among the greatest rookie years anyone has had: .318 with 29 home runs and 91 RBI, plus league-leading totals of 125 runs, 13 triples and 352 total bases. He did all of it while learning third base, a position he had never played regularly, where his 41 errors also led the league. He was the only Phillie to start all 162 games.
Richard Anthony Allen was one of the most feared hitters of the 1960s and early 1970s, a 15-season major leaguer (1963-1977) who played for the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics after the Phillies signed him out of Wampum, Pennsylvania in 1960 for a reported $70,000. Topps called him Richie Allen all decade, though family and friends had always called him Dick, and he asked the writers to use it. He broke in with one of the great rookie seasons on record, batting .318 in 1964 with a league-leading 125 runs, 13 triples and 352 total bases to win National League Rookie of the Year. Philadelphia fans turned on him anyway, showering him with fruit, ice and flashlight batteries until he took his position wearing his batting helmet, which is where the nickname Crash came from. He made seven All-Star teams, led a league in slugging percentage three times, and won the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player award with the White Sox after pacing the league in home runs, RBI, walks and on-base percentage. He finished with 351 home runs, a .534 slugging percentage and a 156 OPS+ across 1,749 games. Allen died in 2020 and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025.
