Greene was a two-year starter in the outfield with the Notre Dame baseball program before signing with the New York Yankees organization after his junior season, as a ninth-round Major League Draft selection. He played in that organization's minor leagues from June of 1998 until March of '01. His three seasons with the Irish (1996-98) included a .329 career batting average, 15 home runs, 113 RBI, 44 doubles, 61 walks and 22 stolen bases in 150 games played.

A power threat from both sides of the plate, the three-year monogram winner and native of Seattle, WA, hit six of his seven home runs in 1997 while batting left-handed before five of his seven home runs in '98 came from the right side. His 20 doubles in 1997 still rank 10th on the Notre Dame single-season list while his other highlights that season included a five-hit game (tying the Irish record at the time) and two home runs in the same inning of another game.

Greene - whose teammates included current Major League pitchers Brad Lidge and Aaron Heilman - helped the high-powered Notre Dame offense set the team home run record in 1997 (66) and again in '98 (73) while his .365 season batting average was a leading force on the '97 squad that set the still-standing Irish record for team batting (.334). He was part of an Irish program that won 70 percent of its games from 1996-98 (126-54), with the '96 team advancing to the NCAA Tournament while the '97 squad won the BIG EAST Conference regular-season title.

Allen's wife, Christy (ND '96), is a professional specialist in the First Year of Studies at the University. The couple has two children, daughter, Rian (4) and son, Samuel (2).
