A dated 155A block letter gamer with heavy use including deeply embedded stitch/lace marks esp. concentrated under the barrel stamp (Parker bats left). It has a light handle crack, bat rack marks, and cleat marks. There is a faded autograph in silver along with his number 39 on the knob. Parker came up with the Pirates in 1973 and played there through 1983 including the 1974-75 NLCS and the 1979 World Series. He was with the Reds from 1984-87 before joining the A’s for their two World Series in 1988-89 for a total of 5 league championships and 3 World Series. Finished his career in 1991 with the Angels and Blue Jays. A nice example of a gamer with great use and of a very popular player from his very last season.
Grade: A9
