First Bobby Myrick, now Harry Parker--who apparently died on May 29. There is no obituary or article available at this time, only the data from the Social Security Death Index.
Parker began his career in St. Louis, but spent the majority of it with the Mets, with whom he pitched from 1973 to 1975. In the team's 1973 NL Pennant-winning season, he went 8-4 with a 3.35 ERA in 38 games, proving to be a key pitcher on the staff. In the postseason, he had a 2.08 ERA in four games, including a 0.00 mark in three Fall Classic appearances. He then pitched in Cleveland and St. Louis to wrap up his career.
He was involved in the trade that sent Jim Beauchamp, Chip Coulter and Chuck Taylor to the Mets and Jim Bibby, Rich Folkers, Charlie Hudson and Art Shamsky to the Cards. He turned out to be the best player in the deal for the squad.
