I have two cards of Cody Allen. This one is from 2015 Topps Heritage.
Playing career: Cody Allen came up with the Indians in 2012
and had two good seasons as a middle reliever. He was promoted to closer in
2014, saving 24 games that season and 34 in 2015.
Where he is now: He is slated to be the Indians’ closer
again this season.
My memories: It’s a lot harder to follow every player on
every team then it was when I was a kid or even young adult. Even ten years ago
there is no way a guy who had 58 saves over two seasons would be completely
unfamiliar to me, but I have no memory of Allen whatsoever.
Google Autocomplete results: He is fourth when you type Cody
A, between Codey Arena, a skating rink in New Jersey, and Cody and Zack, a TV
show. Another prominent Cody Allen is a singer.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Tim Bausher.
Being a Cubs fan I'm more familiar with the NL but I've never heard of Cody Allen either. I've never heard of the singer either. I guess he's Canadian, not that there's anything wrong with that.
