DICK ALLEN..formerly Richie Allen...horse owner

..then
After being suspended for lateness in June - a suspension he learned about over the radio while on his way back from the racetrack to Shea - Allen went into exile, staying away from the club for nearly a month while being fined $1,000 per day. Upon his return, a disillusioned Allen started signaling his frustration with his club's still-hostile fans by writing words in the dirt while manning first base, scribbling out "BOO" and "OCT 2" - the date of the Phillies' last game of the year. At season's end, the Phillies traded Allen to the St. Louis Cardinals, much to his delight.
"I'll play first, third, left. I'll play anywhere - except Philadelphia," Allen famously said.
