Dave Parker, known as "the Cobra," passed away at the age of 74, just before his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Pittsburgh Pirates announced his death, honoring him with a moment of silence at a game. Parker was a two-time batting champion, NL MVP, and a key player in two World Series victories. His contributions to baseball and the impact he had on many lives were praised by peers, including Pirates owner Bob Nutting and Hall chairman Jane Forbes Clark, who highlighted his legacy of courage and leadership.
"He had a big personality and his passing has left a bigger void for all who knew him. Our hearts go out to his wife, Kellye, and his family."
"His legacy will be one of courage and leadership, matched only by his outstanding accomplishments on the field."
