Happy # 73 Dave Parker

We say happy birthday to Dave Parker who was born in Mississippi on this day in 1951.  He turned into one of the most consistent hitters of the last 50 years.

Parker played most of his career with the Pirates:   .305 average over 11 years plus 2 battling titles & the 1978 MVP.   

He also played with the Reds, A's, Brewers and Blue Jays.

His career numbers generate Hall of Fame conversations.  However, he has not been selected:  .290 career batting average, 339 HR, 1,439 RBI & 2,712 hits.

Great hitter!
