Today, we remember and honor the life of Dave Parker — "The Cobra" — a legend of the game and a force both on and off the field. With a swing as powerful as his presence, Dave electrified fans during a career that spanned nearly two decades. A seven-time All-Star, National League MVP, and two-time World Series champion, he left a mark not only on the stat sheets but in the hearts of those who watched him play.

Beyond the home runs and Gold Gloves, Dave was a leader, a mentor, and a symbol of resilience. He brought charisma to the clubhouse and passion to every play, never backing down from a challenge. Even in his post-playing years, as he faced Parkinson’s disease with courage and dignity, he remained an inspiration.

Dave Parker was more than an athlete — he was a warrior, a role model, and a man whose legacy will live on in the game he loved and the lives he touched. We will miss him dearly, but we will always remember the way he played — with power, pride, and heart.

Rest in peace, Cobra.

Nashville is a Big League city despite never having been home to a major league team. From the Civil War era, to star-studded exhibitions, to outstanding Negro Leagues teams, to some of the great minor league franchises of all time, few cities have as rich a baseball tradition as Nashville, Tennessee.
