One of my all-time favorite ballplayers, Dave "Cobra" Parker passed away June 28th at age 74. Dave's numbers speak for themselves and he should be in the Hall of Fame. We revisit our conversation from April 12, 2021.
Original episode description: Dave Parker won two batting titles, an MVP award, three silver sluggers, and played in 7 all-star games. Of his 339 career homers, I bet at least 100 of those were hit against the Cubs. Dave called in to talk about his memoir, “Cobra: A Life of Baseball and Brotherhood.”
