Neil Allen was a very good reliever for the Mets in the early 80s, but he will always be better known as the man the Mets traded to get Keith Hernandez. Allen pitched effectively for the Cards for two years but he was never a star again and after 1984 he became a nomad roaming from team to team. Allen spent 1986 and part of 87 with the White Sox. Pictures of him in the 82-86 White Sox uniform are plentiful, but the Sox changed their uniforms for 1987. Allen went to New York for his second tour of duty with the Yankees during the 87 season, so pictures of him in the Sox 87 outfit apparently aren't too common. Here is a good one from ebay seller signatures4u! The same seller has also posted a good color shot of Allen with the 1989 Indians, only the second such photo I have ever seen.
