Former Phillies Great Dick Allen Has Passed Away

Hi everybody,

Sad Phillies new to report.  Former Phillies great Dick Allen passed away earlier today.  Allen played with the Phillies for nine seasons (1963-1969, 1975-1976), is a Phillies Wall of Famer and had his number 15 retired by the Phils earlier this year (Dick Allen's Number 15 To Be Retired By Phillies).  He is also up for consideration for enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Rest in peace Mr. Allen.

Talk to you soon,

Dick Allen's Number 15 To Be Retired By Phillies

Hi everybody,

The Phillies announced earlier today that they plan to retire Dick Allen's Number 15 in a ceremony on September 3rd...which is the anniversary of his major league debut in 1963.  Allen, who played nine seasons with the Phils, may also be voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame later this season.  This is the first time that the Phils have retired a players number who has not yet been enshrined into the Hall of Fame.  Congrats to Mr. Allen for this honor.

Talk to you soon,
