Dick Allen

Dick Allen signed this 1970 Topps baseball card for me at Brighthouse Networks Field on March 21, 2015 right before a Spring Training game. Mr. Allen was part of an autograph signing featuring members of the Philadelphia Phillies alumni. On December 8, 2024, Mr. Allen was finally elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Classic Baseball Era Committee. Unfortunately, Mr. Allen passed away on December 7, 2020 without receiving the well deserved honor in his lifetime.
