I've never seen anybody before or since who seemed to be playing at one level and everyone else on the field that night was playing at some other lesser level.

In particular I remember being at Old Comiskey on a hot Friday night when the Oakland A's were winning 3 WS in a row (Reggie Jackson, Bert Campaneris, etc.) and Dick Allen just seemed to do whatever he wanted to (even better than Juan Uribe when "he carries the team" - sarcasm intended) with all of his tools (hit for average, hit for power, steal a base, take the extra base, and play some clean defense).
