Richie's High Hopes and Allen Family Bonds in Baseball
Hank Allen describes the close knit Allen family led by Eva Allen as brothers Richie and Ronnie pursue major league careers with the Phillies and Senators. Richie, 25, hit 40 homers last year and is a switch hitter at 6 4 and 206 pounds. Ronnie, 21, a rookie first baseman, is also a Phillies signee. Hank, 26, has delivered key moments for the Senators including a late career surge and a clutch three run homer. Eva's guidance kept them focused, balancing work and schooling as Richie faced racist hostility in Little Rock and Hank earned a U.S. education degree while advancing in the minor leagues.
