Harry Parker

Harry William Parker
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: September 14, 1947 in Highland, IL
Drafted: 4th round 1965 by the St. Louis Cardinals
Acquired: traded from the Cardinals with Jim Beauchamp, Chip Coulter, and Chuck Taylor for Art Shamsky, Jim Bibby, Rich Folkers, and Charlie Hudson, October 1971
Departed: claimed on waivers by the Cardinals, August 1975
Died: May 28, 2012 in Richmond, VA

Harry came from the Cardinals, and then went back to them again when he was done at Shea. He lost a game in the 1973 World Series despite not giving up an earned run. And, just to show you how much the game has changed in the last generation, his total of four saves in 1974 led the club in that department! He's pictured here on 1974 Topps.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
