	parker vs. murphy - Baseball Fever
		Parker had a 5 year peak, from 1975-79, but his deciline was, in retrospece, beginning to occur in 1979, and he dipped from a superstar to an ordinary player in 1980.
		Parker is the kind of guy that fell from his peak to the degree that the only way he was going to make the HOF is if he held on long enough to get 3,000 hits.
		Parker may not have been a truly great fielder his whole career, but he was a good one in his prime and he did have a cannon for an arm, with his amazing 26 assists in 1977.

	Parker finally removes 20-year hex from Pirates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Maybe the Parker Hex could explain why the Pirates haven't won a World Series since 1979 at a time when Parker was the first position player in baseball to make $1 million a year.
		Still bold and brash, Parker was mobbed by autograph-seekers at the Pirates' workout facility yesterday while he held court on subjects such as why he should be in the Hall of Fame and his desire to work for the Pirates again.
		Parker, who will be in camp for two weeks, had hoped to land a job with the Cincinnati Reds as one way of promoting his chain of fast- food restaurants.

	Dave Parker - BR Bullpen
		Dave Parker is a player whose hitting credentials seem to make him a strong Hall of Fame candidate, but who has not been getting many votes in Hall of Fame voting.
		According to the similarity scores method developed by Bill James, the two most similar players to Dave Parker are two Hall of Famers: Tony Perez and Billy Williams, and while #'s 3-10 are not Hall-of-Famers, some of them such as Andre Dawson may get in.
		Parker was still a top player at times, finishing 2nd in the MVP voting in 1985 with a.312 average, 42 doubles, 34 home runs, and 125 RBI.

	1978 NL Stargell Award
		Parker was the National League's best hitter, and was also possibly the best defensive outfielder in the league.
		Parker cleaned up, and had a couple of terrific seasons for the Reds, leading the league in RBI in 1985.

		Parker came back in a big way in 1985 with his hometown Reds, batting.312 with 34 home runs and 125 RBIs and finishing second to St. Louis' Willie McGee in voting for the NL MVP award.
		Parker later went on to serve as an important cog on the Oakland A's 1988 AL championship and 1989 world championship teams and appeared in the 1990 All-Star Game as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.
		It's not surprising that Parker would prefer to have former players rather than writers determining whether a player is worthy or not for baseball's hallowed halls.

		Over the previous two years, there had been a growing sentiment that the best player in baseball was Dave Parker of the Pirates.
		Parker cleaned up, and had a couple of terrific seasons for the Reds, once leading the league in RBI.
		The evidence is pretty solid that Bowa covered a limited amount of range in the field; he was probably an adequate defensive player, but I don't believe that his defensive skills were good enough to make him an MVP candidate.

	BBTF's Newsblog Discussion :: Pittsburgh Tribune: Starkey: Dave Parker belongs in Hall
		The 70's and 80's were an unusual time in baseball history, in that the players who had a case for being the best in the game at any one point are generally not considered all time greats.
		Parker was excellent at dodging the batteries fans threw at him towards the end of his Pirate career, so that should count for something.
		Parker on human growth hormone (as opposed to cocaine or one of the other popular substances of his day) would have mashed 50-plus home runs and killed five pitchers per year in the late 1970's.

		Major League Baseball announced the new Hall of Fame ballot with 15 new players and 17 returnees.
		Given that there are now 209 players in the Hall who were elected as players, either by the writers or veterans, if the given player is ranked among the top 209 all-time, one would think that he would fit in at the Hall, Pete Rose notwithstanding.
		These are generally speaking players who did many things well but their achievements did not necessarily translate into the countable stats that voters love.
