Playing his entire career with the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins, the versatile outfielder was known for his cannon of an arm and pop with a bat. Allison, the 1959 Rookie of the Year, would have eight seasons where he hit more than 20 Home Runs, which included a 35 HR season where he would lead the American League in OPS and WAR. He would make the All-Star Team three times, and accumulate 1,281 Hits for the team.
The Twins inducted Allison into their Hall of Fame in 2003.
