From 1975-1979 he was an absolute unit for us. The leader of 'The Lumber Company' with Pops a fairly distant second.

Josh Bell had a great half season, one of the best of alltime, but if he could even come close to what Parker did for five years (and his two best years with the Reds) Bell would be a legend instead of a 'what do we got next year?'

Buccos won all the MVPs in '79.
