He is ninth in franchise history in home runs and hit 30 more three times with a career-high of 40 in 1966. Allen ranked top ten in the National League in home runs in five out of six seasons from 1964 to 1969. Allen hit 29 home runs and drove in 91 runs in his 1964 Rookie of the Year campaign, finishing seventh in the National League in home runs that year.
