Dave Parker, Dick Allen elected to Cooperstown [View all]

What do we think of this? I’ve never been the strongest Parker supporter, but I’m happy for him, especially after his battle with Parkinson’s. If you’ve never seen The Cobra at Twilight, you can watch it on YouTube. It’s very good.

Also, Dick Allen I’ve wanted for years, should’ve been in years ago, fell one vote shy 10 years ago for the Class of 2015 when he was still with us. Still, better late than never.
