Saw today that my favorite Red of all time finally gets to go to Cooperstown. He got in on the Classic Baseball Era comittee ballot alongside Phillies great Dick Allen.
Parker was a Cincinnati native. He won an MVP with Pittsburgh before signing as a FA with the Reds. He was an imposing figure with big time power and a cannon arm in RF. He was also part of a cocaine scandal in Pittsburgh that undoubtedly damaged his chances of getting in sooner.
Always good to see a Red get in, and especially nice to see Parker in particular.
