Dick Allen, Dave Parker Elected to Hall of Fame

Dick Allen and Dave Parker were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Classic Era Committee, recognizing their significant contributions to the sport during the 1960s and 70s. Allen, who posthumously received this honor, was known for his immense power and had a career marked by overcoming racial discrimination. Parker, nicknamed 'The Cobra,' was a formidable player with two batting titles and a 1978 MVP award under his belt. Both players endured long waits for this recognition, with Allen previously falling short by one vote. Their induction corrects historical oversights and celebrates their impact and achievements in MLB history. The ceremony will be held on July 27, 2025, in Cooperstown.
