greg775 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Should have happened a long time ago when he was alive. One of the most electric players in sports history. Well deserved. Hope his family enjoys this forever. Anybody who saw Dick Allen play for the Sox realizes he is a Hall of Famer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked cool. He had a certain swagger and a flair to everything he did even small things like the way he would adjust his batting gloves, or that little flip of the mitt when he would catch a ball at first base. The man was just naturally cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 (edited) Dick Allen saved the Sox from being sold to Bud Selig by co-owner Arthur Allyn and moving to Milwaukee along with John Allyn who didn't think Milwaukee was worthy of a charter member of the American League .Arthur also tried to sell the team to Lamar Hunt. John eventually sold the team back to Veeck who in turn sold it to Reinsdorf. Katt said they called Allen Mos which was short for Moses because he led the White Sox out of the wilderness. He called Katt Old Timer. Fun interview although Matt Vasgersian's ignorance that Phillies fans booing Allen was racially motivated when Vasgersian tried to compare them booing him to the same as booing Steve Carlton and Jack Schmidt as an act of respect. Kaat set him straight. Phillies were the last NL team to integrate in 1957 , 10 years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Allen's rookie year with the Phil's was 1963 only 6 years after their 1st African America ballplayer.
