Kim Allen was a second baseman-outfielder who, after a nondescript minor league career, briefly earned prospect status with the Seattle Mariners after a spectacular 1980 season for Triple A Spokane. Allen registered a 35 game hitting streak during that season and stole 84 bases, the most in the Pacific Coast League since 1913. He was called up to the 1980 Mariners in September and swiped 10 bags in 23 games. Entering 1981, Allen was a dark horse Rookie of the Year candidate, as there was speculation that Mariners manager Maury Wills
would embrace Allen's larcenous ways and would allow him to run wild. However, after breaking camp with the 1981 Mariners, Allen was used almost exclusively as a pinch-runner, and then was sent down at the end of April.

After his big league career, Allen played in Japan. He spent the 1982 and 1983 seasons with the Hanshin Tigers. In 1982, he hit .260/.326/.358 and stole 22 bases in 28 tries and he batted .276/.340/.409 in 47 games in '83. Surprisingly, he was caught in 8 of 20 steal attempts that year.

Allen also suited up for the Senior Professional Baseball Association's Fort Myers Sun Sox in 1989 and 1990 and led the league with 33 stolen bases.
