1942-2020
It is with great sadness that I learned earlier today of Dick Allen's passing.
This one really stings. I grew up a Sox fan in the '70s. Dick Allen was a hero to me. I had a homemade baseball bat that was just ridiculously way too big. We called it the "Dick Allen" bat. I could only use it playing sandlot ball because it was obviously not legal for little league play. If you follow this blog, you know that I have used Allen as the subject of many posts. The 72 "In Action" was one of my first fake cards. Here are as many others that I can remember making:
So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. As a kid, I collected many of his cards and I still have them. Nice cards and nice tribute.
ReplyDeleteGreat customs. RIP Mr. Allen. Total badass.
