Sunday, December 8th was a day one Pirates legend will remember forever. It was a day he had been waiting on for years, a day he didn’t know would ever come.
On Sunday night, former Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Dave Parker received the call to Cooperstown, officially being voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Classic Era Baseball Committee voted on eight candidates whose primary contributions to the game came before 1980. Parker received 14 of the 16 eligible votes and White Sox first baseman Dick Allen totaled 13.
The Cobra belongs in Cooperstown.
