Allen made his NL debut in Шаблон:Baseball year with the Phillies, and in his day was considered a power hitter, hitting a career-high eight home runs in Шаблон:Baseball year. In 1894, he was struck in the face with a pitch, sustaining a broken cheekbone. The Chicago Tribune reported that cheekbone fragments had entered Allen's brain. The paper suggested that Allen had sustained permanent damage to his eyesight and his mind.[1]

When Allen's contract was up, he took a three-year hiatus from baseball, but he later joined the Beaneaters. His playing time diminished and he walked away from baseball again after the 1897 season. In Шаблон:Baseball year, he was hired as manager of the Reds, occasionally inserting himself into the game as a shortstop. He finished 62–77 and in seventh place. He was fired after one season at the helm.

Later life

He died in Little Rock, Arkansas, at age 75.[2]
