Parker's vote totals back in the day were so low because of the drug trial. People forget that Parker was actually suspended for a year for distributing drugs but was allowed to buy his way out of it.
His WAR is so low because WAR hates his defense. -14.8 career and had a negative dWAR 16 times in his 19-year career. Led the league in errors five straight years. But if you'd asked me back in 1985, I'd have thought for sure he was a HOFer. |

Congratulations to Dave Parker and Dick Allen's family. Both players earned this honor.

My mistake about the Trading Card Database. The 1972 Salem Dave Parker is listed, but not pictured.

Allen and Parker were both monsters in their day. They just lacked the longevity to put up classic big numbers. This might open the door for other stars who dominated in a 10 year run, but then fell off like Mattingly, David Wright, Munson, etc.
