Dave Parker Will Not Be Down This Morning...

[cr8crshr]

Being a rabid baseball fan, and having grown up during his playing days and playing against the Chicago Cubs, he will be inducted posthumously in August into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Great batsmen and a cannon for an arm as he would cut down runners trying to score as he cannonaided the ball to the catcher to tag out the runner. The Heavens Baseball Team is aging a world-class player...RIP Dave...

Dave Parker, Hall of Famer and former MVP, passes away at 74

His skill was as supreme as his style and swagger. His exploits on the field were the stuff of legend, like the Minor League home run he hit in West Virginia that landed in a coal car and wound up in Columbus, Ohio, or the time he literally knocked the

RIP. My memories of Dave was when he was with Oakland and I was at the height of my baseball fandom at 8 years old.

RIP Dave

albeit I don't remember that name specifically,
or I didn't follow Chicago especially &/or I don't ever follow the team/s from MLB now,
but it sounds like, he was a stand up dude/good player, by the article
back in the good days of the sport

I was too busy routing for my 9 times world champions (3x in Philly)
Oakland As 4 Xs 1972, 73, 74, 89

(Oakland Athletics back then, till about 1997, 4 season tickets
right behind 'the dugout' at 1st base line, for like 20 years since 1977
my dad had the season ticket since 1971 ? (IIRC)... When I took them over
I went to almost every home game, except weekends that I was usually,
out traveling for my racing or Lisa's rodeo)
