Dave Parker was a baseball superstar when joined the Pittsburgh Pirates. His size, six foot five inches tall and 235 pounds, intimidated many a pitcher when he stood in the batters box. And well it should. Parker was a seven time All Star, two time Batting Champ, 1978 MVP and a World Series Champion in Pittsburgh and Oakland. Playing Outfield he won numerous Gold Gloves and an arm that unleashed pinpoint throws only surpassed by Roberto Clemente. Inside the book Parker tells all from being a black athlete playing in small southern towns as a minor league to his call up by the Pirates. He tells of friendships and drug use and world series appearances and late season disappointments. Better yet the book is signed by Parker, a worthy future Hall of Famer. The book will be bubblewrapped to prevent mail damage.
