1973 Topps #310 Dick Allen
About Dick Allen
Allen shared first-series 1973 Topps Home Run Leaders #62 and RBI Leaders #63 with Johnny Bench; third-series #310 was his White Sox base card. His 1972 home run total had set a club record, and his .603 slugging percentage led the American League. He returned to the lineup on July 31, 1973, going 3-for-4 against Kansas City. Two subsequent pinch-hit appearances brought his season to a close on August 2.
Richard Anthony "Dick" Allen played first base, third base and the outfield during fifteen major league seasons (1963-1977) with the Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, White Sox and Athletics. Philadelphia signed him out of Wampum, Pennsylvania, in 1960 for a reported $70,000. Although the Phillies called him Richie, family and friends knew him as Dick, and he asked writers to use that name. He won the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year award and the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player award with Chicago. A seven-time All-Star, he led his league in slugging percentage three times. In Philadelphia he faced racist abuse and objects thrown from the stands; he wore a batting helmet while fielding and became known as Crash. Allen finished with a .292 average and 351 home runs in 1,749 games. His career slugging percentage was .534, with a 156 OPS+. He died in 2020 and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025.
