On March 25, 2021 I mailed 2 8x10 pictures to the legendary "Cobra", Dave Parker. I added a sticky note requesting each picture to be personalized, one for my son and the other for me.
The 8x10 photo of Mr. Parker smoking was supposed to be for me as I didn't want my 9 year old son to have that particular picture hanging on his bedroom wall. When I received the autographs in the mail on Tuesday, April 6, 2021, I quickly discovered the mix up... On December 8, 2024 Mr. Parker was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Classic Baseball Era Committee. It's a long overdue honor. But thankfully, a decades long overlook has finally been corrected.
