Will Allen, P, 1838-1855



SAN DIEGO N.L. (1838-39), MEMPHIS A.L. (1840-44), CAROLINA N.L. (1845-50) WINNEMUCCA A.L. (1851-54), WICHITA FALLS N.L. (1855)

1839 AL Pitcher of the Year. 13-time all-star. Led Memphis to the '43 Series title. Retired 3rd all-time in career wins with 243 and 7th in strikeouts with 2953.

Had he not be saddled for some unfortunate years on a few bad teams, he might have won a lot more than he did. But had a consistent ability to win throughout his career and was no doubt one of the Top 5 big game pitchers during his career. AI puts the guy in the cap he spent the longest in, but I decided that it ought to be based on their career and where they played the best. The fact he led Memphis to a title, coupled with his work there put them over the top in my opinion.
