Reader comment on:
The Greatest Player Who Isn't in the Hall of Fame

Submitted by Jerry Skurnik, Jan 11, 2007 10:12

I was always a big Dick Allen fan when he played. The one lingering question I have about him is, since he was so talented, why was he traded so often for lesser talent (Ted Sizemore?) if he wasn't a clubhouse cancer? I hope Mr. Barra (who I admire greatly) reads this and responds.
