Dave Parker, Pirates great and Hall of Famer, dies at 74

Pittsburgh pirates on Saturday said in a statement, ‘Cobra’, known for love with a strong and charismatic outside field actor Dave Parker, died at the age of 74. The transition comes only weeks before you are preparing to enter the Baseball Honor List.

Pirates honored Parker with a moment of silence before they played against New York Mets. Parker, a 6 -meter -exploding bat and a 6 -meter asset, made 19 seasons in the sections, including 11 of them with Pittsburgh.

Parker was named MVP in 1978 and won the title of two world series with pirates in 1979 and the other in 1989 with Oakland Athletics.
Parker, who won All-Star seven times and three gold gloves on the right, won the NL stroke championship in 1977 and 1978. He also had clues about Cincinnati, Milwaukee, California and Toronto.

He was born in Mississippi and grew up in Cincinnati, Parker was a star in high school before leaving a mark on baseball. Between 1984-87, he returned to his hometown to play for Reds, led the league in the RBIs in 1985 and became second in the MVP vote.
In 2012, Parker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. In December he was elected to the Honor Hall by a private committee and expressed deep emotions after hearing the news. “Yes, I cried,” he said. “It only took a few minutes, because I don’t cry.” The Honor List ceremony at Cooperstown was held on 27 July.
