The Hall of Famer That Wasnt: Dave Parker

In the latest episode of the Hall of Famer That Wasnt series, Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast  dives into the surprising omission of baseball legend Dave Parker, nicknamed "The Cobra," from the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Sting of Controversy: I'll address the shadows cast by Parker's connection to the Pittsburgh drug trials of the 1980s and how it might have impacted voters.
A Peak Performer?: I'll discuss Parker's phenomenal peak years, including his MVP season, but also explore the decline in his later career and how that factors into Hall of Fame considerations.
More Than Stats: This episode goes beyond numbers to explore Parker's impact on the game. I'll talk about his role in the Pittsburgh Pirates' success and his overall legacy.
Is the Hall Still Striking Out?: I'll discuss the voting process and why Parker hasn't garnered enough support from the Baseball Writers' Association of America. I'll also explore the possibility of him being considered by the Modern Baseball Era committee.
