Dave Parker - "The Cobra"

Growing up, I wanted to be "The Cobra"!  Dave Parker, who was on in Season 1 of the Lost Ballparks podcast, grew up a block away from Cincinnati's Crosley Field. He finished his Hall of Fame 19 year career with 2,712 hits, 339 home runs, a 7x All-Star, 2x World Champion, 3x Silver Slugger, 3 Gold Gloves, NL MVP (he finished top 5 in the MVP voting 5 times!) and was one of the most electric players in baseball history! This episode is one of my favorites. He did not disappoint!
