former mvp, 2x world series champ, and 7x all-star—‘the cobra’ Dave Parker has officially been elected to the baseball hall of fame after 15 years on the ballot. a force in his era, the Pirates legend racked up 2,712 hits, 339 home runs, nearly 1,500 rbis, and a .290 career average. his dominance in the sport made him a polarizing figure in Pittsburgh and led to a historic five-year, $5 million contract in 1979, which made him just the second professional athlete ever to earn an average of $1 million per year. his induction ceremony is set for july 27, 2025, in cooperstown, ny.
