As likely the largest Parrish collector in the country, people may be surprised by this answer.
I don’t see it as much as I would love it. Does he have a resume that qualifies for the new hall of very good? I think so, he has the WS, numerous golden gloves and sliver sluggers, ground breaking in opening strength training in baseball over the huge objections of Sparky. The two biggest catch 22’s. The Phillies move was a bust, and really was after a long battle that beat him mentally. That 1987 year is a tough one. The absolute biggest- Parrish was a lynchpin in destroying one of the largest scandal in MLB history with spotlighting the collusion of owners under the complete ass that was Peter Uberroth. The commissioner that blatantly violated near every labor law and created one of the biggest black eyes in modern baseball. I can’t imagine them wanting his history in full review during the career retrospective and bringing a scandal they have spent 40 years trying to keep out of the public eye back in the forefront. Uberroth was a soulless criminal and holds a black spot in history for his treatment of players. No one wants that on display.
