Kiss this AL!!!!
Game-Used Pirate Peg-Leg?
That’s why they call me the Cobra…..hissssssssssss
When asked how Dave wanted to pose for his Upper Deck card, this is what he came up with
I’ve been told not to throw my bat anymore, I have to lay it down carefully, here is a piece of the last one that shattered .
And this is my curling technique .. Because I said I “wood”
Dave doing his best Usain Bolt impression!!!
I have to put my bat down gently, it’s my lucky bat and I don’t want to wreck it.
Dave Parker “I look so good now, I bet they do a throwback Thursday with my pic 35 years from now!”
Is that Chris Carlin up ahead?
Bases Loaded in the bottom of the 9th down by 4 , he takes a breath and he says , I Got this! Smash the Ball to a Homer , Drop bat and Go Go Go Run Like the wind bullseye all the way back home to Win The game ! and That’s what that good old boy did!
When bae catches you playin ball and you were supposed to pick up the kids
If I gently place the bat here maybe I can sneak to first base without anyone seeing me
“Hope these people stop throwing things”
I think he said “Simon says “.
The Cobra has struck!
Dave Parker about to “BOWL” a “HOMERUN”. !!!!
The quicker I get out, the quicker I can smoke in the dugout.
Boom Boom Boom! Let me hear you say WAYO!
Evidence of a cobra strike.
“Let it go, let it go, can’t hold onto this bat anymore!”
The Cobra Strikes Again
Dave does the homerun shake.
Man! Look at that hottie in section 112!
You see that piece of wood, well that is all I need to homer with. Sorry, I just wanted to warn you.
“Check this bat piece for venom, because it surely helped “The Cobra” Dave Parker take a bite out of National League pitching.
Arrr! Avast mate! Look at that ball fly!
OMG! Just gonna lay my bat down and chase that squirrel!
Wait Coach!I gotta stop practicing and chase the hot-dog boy for a sec.
Knock on wood, I don’t fall down!
“Did that? Ohhh boy, yeah – that broke a window! Ok, Dave, lay the bat down gently and run for it! You were never here!”
Did momma really say she was baking more sugar cookies??!!
Dave Parker game used cricket bat used in his cricket career after he retired from baseball.
Batting after Thor was always embarrassing for Dave. He hated having to drag the bat back to the dugout each time, unable to lift it himself.
“I’m gonna hold onto this bat just in case the 2nd Baseman tries to throw the force out @ home, I’m gonna hit it back in the field”
I hope I ducked enough so the cameraman behind me can get a good view of this homerun.
My momma always told me to set the bat down nicely after I rip a double in the gap.
If i stare hard enough maybe he will drop the ball!
Most Non-chalant bat flip ever!!
Authentic game used Super Dave Parker Doomsday home run hitting device. KAPOW!!! BLAM!!!
If I can make it to second base, manager said I can go dancing at the disco.
Uh oh… I knew I shouldn’t have had that bean burrito last night… be right back..
I like to kick….. stretch…. cause I’m 50!
oh geez i think my pants just split in the back
Congrats to David P. on scoring 5-packs of 2014 Goodwin Champions! Thank you to everyone for participating and we hope to see your witty comments next week.
Thanks Chris
You kids get off my lawn!!!
Hey guys…u got a bigger helmet…this thing is gonna mess up my hair…better hit a homer to get this off my head faster..
