Dugout Central: Allen to Get Hall Nod on Monday
December 7th, 2008 by MattDugout Central is reporting that a source close to the Veteran’s Committee says that Dick Allen has been elected to the Hall of Fame, along with Ron Santo and Joe Torre.
We’ve already come out on the side that Allen is deserving of enshrinement. Apparently the Veteran’s Committee agrees that Allen’s dominating offensive performance during an era defined by pitching outweighs anything negative regarding Allen’s perceived character issues.
No major media outlets are yet reporting this, but if it is true, take that, Bill James.
Now I’m off to find a hotel room in Cooperstown for late July.
