| Message | Dick Allen -- Superstar (to the music of "Jesus Christ Superstar"  Every time I think of you I don't understand Why you didn't obey rules and be a yes-man. You'd have surely made the Hall and I'd have been glad, But you went and blew it all by making the bosses mad. Tell me why you quit the Sox in Seventy-four. Ain't it true that you could rock the fences some more? Dick Allen, Dick Allen How'd you have nerve to be your own man? Dick Allen, Dick Allen How'd you have nerve to be your own man? Dick Allen, Superstar You're the best, real fans know you are. Dick Allen, Superstar You're the best, real fans know you are. Tell me what you think about your friends at the top, 'Bout the others who could clout, who pitchers could not stop. Were Gerghig, Williams, and Mel Ott as great as you are? Could Babe Ruth really call his shots or was that just P.R.? Could any of them swing a bat of forty ounce wood? Or were you the only human that sucessfully could? Dick Allen, Dick Allen How'd you have nerve to be your own man? Dick Allen, Dick Allen How'd you have nerve to be your own man? Dick Allen, Superstar You're the best, real fans know you are. Dick Allen, Superstar You're the best, real fans know you are. Written in Chicago, 1977. |

| Message | Counting Joe Jackson as not eligible, I wholeheartedly agree that Mr. Allen is the best player not in the HOF (including all the early year gentlemen, and even Jim Rice, who should also be in). The argument that he did not play long enough is offset by the stats he put up while he played. Also, the HOF Monitor and other measures used by Baseball-Reference.com put him in. I remember being at Dodger Stadium his one year in LA and watching play LF with his green glove and batting helmet. Loved it. Perhaps justice will prevail at some point. Derek |

| Message | Love Richie Allen, I was a great 60s Phillies fan. On my High School baseball team everyone wanted to wear #15. Rich Allen should be in the Hall of Fame. |

| Message | What is the real reason why he isn't already in the Hall of Fame? Does that answer really hold up? He should be in the Hall of Fame. |

| Message | Talent is what should dictate going into the Hall of Fame. He had it therefore he should be going into the Hall of Fame as long as he wasn't a felon. |
