Dick Allen and Dave Parker will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame next July, the Classic Baseball Era Committee announced Sunday. Parker, an outfielder and the 1978 NL MVP for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was named on 14 of 16 ballots, while Allen, the 1972 AL MVP for the Chicago White Sox who also played for the Philadelphia Phillies, was named on 13. A 75% threshold is necessary for induction.
A seven-time All Star and the 1964 NL Rookie of the Year, Allen finished his career with 351 home runs and 1,119 RBIs. He died in 2020 at the age of 78.
