*by W***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016*

I've waited a few days after I finished this book to review it. The author definitely put a different spin on Dick Allen. He points out  numerous times how Allen was a superstar who should have been given special treatment like other baseball players were. He pointed out how both Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams were given special treatment by their teams. Although both Mantle and Williams were given special treatment by their teams both players never gave their teams/organizations the headaches that Allen gave his teams. Being a White Sox fan I saw Allen have his 1972 MVP season where he was devastating as a player. I also remember him quitting on his team and retiring before the season ended in 1974. He then unretired during the off season. He went thru numerous teams during his career and left all of them on bad paper. He wore his welcome out everywhere he went. He has to take some of the blame for his actions. It will be interesting to see if Allen is voted into the MLB Hall Of Fame in the future.  The author has definitely wrote a interesting book on Allen but its still hard to feel any love towards Allen after reading this book.

    Call him whatever you want, just don't expect him to show up on time
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2016*

In reading and reviewing this book, you need to separate the story from the person.  The story is like nothing else you will ever read.  To call Dick Allen one of a kind is an under-statement and the author did an excellent and thorough job of covering his career from every angle.  On the other hand, Dick Allen the person comes off as selfish, frustrating and infuriating.  In Allen's world, baseball would be a great game if not for the owners, media, fans, money, travel and rules (like actually showing up on time for games).  Yes there was the blatant racism he experienced from ownership and fans.  Yes, the pre-free agency was grossly unfair to players.  Yes, there were incidents that were not his fault and he was put in difficult situations early in his career.  None of that makes up for the way he consistently ignored and abandoned his responsibilities to his teams and teammates.  The whole combination of the story and the person makes for a fascinating read that I just could not put down.  The only criticism I have is that the author comes off as borderline excusing/rationalizing the consistently bad behavior rather than calling Allen out for repeating the same patterns over and over again ... and for that matter, calling out ownership and management for enabling him to do so.

    A selfish enigma
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2020*

I truly enjoyed this book. In 1972 I saw 30 plus games at Comiskey Park where Dick Allen was the most exciting and electric player I had ever seen.I just do not understand him fighting with management everywhere he played. He had a great and valid point....PAY ME FOR WHAT I AM DOING NOW!I get it. I also get the fact that the "RESERVE CLAUSE" amounted to a form of involuntary servitude.Allen was an introvert. His experience in Philadelphia led to drinking. The fans and toady sports media were not understanding of a guy who looked at being a ballplayer as some 9 to 5 JOB. A JOB, not a game.I understand where Allen professed to be coming from. However, his act screamed SELFISHNESS, not well intentioned rebellion. Curt Flood was selfless. Allen sacrificed NOTHING he could not afford in fine money. Flood stood up for all players. Dick Allen stood up for Dick Allen.
