This special Philadelphia Phillies commemorative baseball was used during the September 3, 2020, game honoring the retirement of Dick Allen’s jersey, making it one of the most desirable game-used baseballs from this memorable event.
Dick Allen began his legendary career by winning the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year Award with the Phillies before earning seven All-Star selections. He later captured the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player Award while playing for the Chicago White Sox. Allen passed away later in 2020, making memorabilia from his jersey retirement ceremony especially significant to collectors.
Because these commemorative baseballs were produced exclusively for this single game, they are considered highly sought-after pieces of baseball history.
This baseball has been officially authenticated through Major League Baseball’s Authentication Program, with the corresponding MLB Authentication details included in the accompanying photographs.
