Sad news reported by Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Pirates great Dave Parker has Parkinson?s disease.
Good news: the disease, diagnosed in February of last year, is not progressing rapidly. Also good: Parker?s attitude:
?There?s no fear,? Parker said. ?I?ve had a great life. I always dreamt of playing baseball, and I played. I?m 62 years old and fortunate to make it to this point. I have some beautiful kids that I got to watch grow up and become adults. My fingerprints are on the baseball industry. I feel good about that. I have nothing to feel bad about.?
A good story about a great player dealing with some tough news.
Good luck, Cobra.
