Really nice write-up here, including his famous t-shirt and fedora photo along with the legendary throws during the ‘79 All Star game. The “We Are Family” Pirates were the first sports team I became enamored with and Parker was a centerpiece of that great team: https://www.mlb.com/news/dave-parker-dies

Fun team with so many great characters.
What a perfect nickname as well.

It’s easy to forget how dominant he was, per Baseball Reference, see all his accolades below. Also never knew till know he was a Cincy native, so it was cool he got to play there as well.
