Here at Rum Bunter we are using Black History Month to honor some of the many great African American players the Pittsburgh Pirates have had in their franchise history. Thus far, we have honored pitcher Bob Veale and outfielder Andrew McCutchen. Today we take a look at another outfielder, and one of the biggest Hall of Fame snubs in baseball, ‘The Cobra’ Dave Parker.
