Comments on: Is Dick Allen Worthy Of The Hall? http://www.theshibetimes.com/2008/11/is-dick-allen-worthy-of-the-hall/ Thoughts on The Philadelphia Phillies - Past, Present, Future.

Top-notch fans know he could hit a ball as far as any player who ever lived, not to mention his .292 career average and slugging percentages and OPS figures that boggle the mind. Allen got hurt and played hurt many times throughout his career but when all is said and done, he definitely deserves to be in the HOF. He was better than many already in the Hall who themselves, dont really deserve it over DICK ALLEN.

By the time he played, worked a lot with the team. He played with the heart on the field. I'm a singer in Brazil and I'm rooting for Mr. Allen, including'll try to get permission to record his song "Echo's of November". Bye!
