OAKLAND – If you think Jarrett Parker’s bat speed is blurry, you should listen to him rattle off his European travel itinerary:
“London, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Rome, Barcelona,” he said, without pausing in between. “And then Dublin.”
Parker made the grand circuit with outfielder Ryan Lollis last winter, trading their bat bags for rucksacks. It is hard to choose highlights. Parker had one that stood out.
It was his visit to Lokrum, an island in the Adriatic Sea.

“Oh goodness,” he said.
