PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dave Parker, a hard-hitting outfielder who was set to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame next month, has died, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced Saturday. He was 74. No further details about Parker's death were immediately available. The Pirates informed the crowd of his death just before the start of their game against the New York Mets and held a moment of silence. Advertisement Nicknamed 'the Cobra,' the 6-foot-5 Parker made his major league debut in 1973 and played 19 seasons, 11 for the Pirates. He was the NL MVP in 1978, won a World Series with Pittsburgh a year later and then won another championship in 1989 with the Oakland Athletics.

CHICAGO, IL - CIRCA 1979: Dave Parker #39 of the Pittsburgh Pirates bats against the Chicago Cubs during a Major League Baseball game circa 1979 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Parker played for the Pirates from 1973-83. More Focus"We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Dave Parker," the Pirates announced on social media. "A legendary Pirate, Parker spent 11 years in a Pirates uniform, winning 2 batting titles, an MVP award and a World Series Championship in 1979. The Cobra was part of the inaugural Pirates Hall of Fame class in 2022, and will be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown next month." Parker was known as one of the elite hitters that was part of the "Fam-a-lee" for the Pirates. His contributions to the team were significant, and it's hard to imagine the team winning the World Series without his efforts. He was 74 years old, and his impact on baseball will never be forgotten. The Cobra finished his career with 2,712 hits, a .290 batting average, 339 home runs and 1,493 RBI. Upon leaving the Pirates, he spent the next four seasons with the Reds followed by bouncing around several teams in his final two years. The seven-time All-Star made himself a staple in the mid-summer classic, and his performances led to winning three Gold Gloves, two batting titles and a Silver Slugger award. Parker will be missed deeply by the Pirates organization as well as the baseball community. More MLB: Phillies Insider Projects Twins 'Dangle' Closer, Utility Player as Trade Chips
