Parker, Morris, Baines, Frisch and his cronies making it a complete joke, the litany of ridiculous choices from these small insider committees with private ballots go back over half a century. They obviously have no desire to clean it up and adopt any reasonable method of election. The museum is cool but the plaques are less and less worth seeing as it has turned into a Hall of Voting Practices That Are Designed To Ensure A Dishonest Outcome

Certainly a different evaluation of Parker today than in prior years, including two veterans' committee votes where he received zero votes.
1997 BBWAA (17.5%)
1998 BBWAA (24.5%)
1999 BBWAA (16.1%)
2000 BBWAA (20.8%)
2001 BBWAA (16.3%)
2002 BBWAA (14.0%)
2003 BBWAA (10.3%)
2004 BBWAA (10.5%)
2005 BBWAA (12.6%)
2006 BBWAA (14.6%)
2007 BBWAA (11.4%)
2008 BBWAA (15.1%)
2009 BBWAA (15.0%)
2010 BBWAA (15.2%)
2011 BBWAA (15.3%)
2014 Veterans ()

I don't think he definitely received 0 votes in 2014 and 2018. I think if someone gets less than 3 votes, they don't report the total so he could have received a few, but still was nowhere close to election.

Delgado's OPS is 100 points higher than Parker's and he hit 140 more HR in 2000 fewer AB. Just saying.

Congrats to Dave Parker.

It took me forever to find his first ever item, I have never seen another for sale (luckily when I found the one I have in my Personal collection there was an extra as well)...

I hate sharing pictures of items that haven't been seen before as it will take 8 seconds for TradingCardDatabase to steal the image

I already saw the image on the Trading Card Database. Was it not there yesterday?

I literally posted this same card about five posts before yours!! ������

[rhettyeakley]

I missed your post Derek.

If anyone else was going to have a 1972 Parker I figured it would be you.

I thought I was caught up but didn't see the last few posts on the previous page.

All good Rhett! Yours looks nicer anyway, so yours will end up being the TCDB image that gets pilfered!

I was about to come on here and change my message to something like: “cool Rhett! Never seen anything like that before!” But I see you’ve already read my not-so-cool response, so I’ll leave my sarcasm in my head and not on the ‘net.
