1966 Topps, Richie Allen

Card No. 80

Welcome to the Gun Show, starring Phillies third-sacker Richie Allen....If you were a pitcher during the '60s and '70s you were probably wetting your pants when Richie came to bat....This is Allen's third Topps card and just his second stand-alone, as he shared his '64 rookie card with fellow Phillie John Herrnstein....Listed as "Rich Allen" on his cards beginning in 1970 and eventually "Dick Allen" from 1972 through '76....Blasted a career-best 40 round-trippers for the Phils in '66, finishing fourth in N.L. MVP voting.
