We remember Dick Allen (1942-2020)

We remember Richard Anthony Allen who was born in March 1942 and died in December 2020. 

Allen broke the Phillies in 1964 and was voted Rookie of the Year.   He put up some great numbers and seemed like a candidate for the Hall of Fame. 

Back in 1973, Dick Allen signed a 3-year $ 750,000 contract with the Chicago White Sox or the largest sum ever in baseball history at the time.   It came after winning the 1972 AL MVP and hitting 37 HR.   

Eventually, Allen battled injuries, personal problems and retired with a .291 batting average, 351 HR and 1,191 RBI.

Happy # 71 Jim Rice

We say happy birthday to Jim Rice, who was born in South Carolina on this day in 1953.   

He was selected to The Hall of Fame in 2009.

Rice hit 20 homers 11 times, drove 1,171 runs over 11 seasons and was an AL All-Star 8 times.   

On top of that power, he hit .300 in seven seasons and finished in the top five in the AL MVP voting six times.     

He retired with a .298 batting average.

Also, Rice hit 39-plus homers four times, the most of anyone who played in the AL during his time period.    

Rice's most impressive season, without question, was 1978, when he hit .315 with 213 hits, 15 triples, 46 homers, 139 RBIs and 406 total bases.
