He was an All-Star, a Gold Glover, a batting champion, a National League MVP and a critical part of the 1979 Pirates World Series Championship team. He had a big personality and his passing has left an even bigger void with all who knew him. Our hearts go out to his wife, Kellye, and his family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He finished his career with a .290 batting average, 339 home runs, and 1,493 RBI while winning back-to-back batting titles in 1977 and 1978.<\/p>\n<p>Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob\u00a0Manfred said in a statement that Parker &#8220;was a gifted all-around player whose numerous accomplishments led to his upcoming induction in Cooperstown this summer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#8220;All of us throughout the game are deeply saddened by this loss,&#8221; Manfred said. &#8220;We will remember the Cobra forever, especially as his name soon officially joins the legends of our National Pastime. \u00a0On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my sympathy to Dave&#8217;s family and his fans across the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Parker led the National League with a .338 average, 215 hits and 44 doubles in 1977. He followed up his 1977 campaign by becoming the 1978 National League Most Valuable Player after slashing a .334 average with 30 home runs and 117 RBI.<\/p>\n<p>A seven-time All-Star, Parker was also named MVP of the 1979 All-Star Game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3
