Nicknamed “The Cobra,” Dave Parker was the NL MVP in 1978, won a World Series with the Pittsburgh Pirates a year later and won another championship in 1989 with the Oakland Athletics.

Former teammates Bert Blyleven, Dave Stewart and Terry Francona were among those who shared their memories of Parker and mourned his death.

Dave Parker, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013, will be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame next month in Cooperstown.
