Always glad to read anything about Parker. For me it’s the1972 trade in which Cleveland sent Graig Nettles and Jerry Moses for Rusty Torres, Charlie Spikes, Jerry Kenney and John Ellis to the Yankees. Which was a huge reason the Yankees became relevant again. That ‘73 Topps Nettles card with him as a Yankee is one of my favorites.
Frank Robinson going from Cincy to Baltimore. I know it must hurt 😅 I suppose the A's getting Ken Holtzman would be considered more of a hump thing. Reggie to the Yankees I suppose should be mentioned.

On the down side, Nettles' arrival in the Bronx sealed Celerino Sánchez's baseball fate.

All great picks! Yeah, the Robinson trade still hurts -- at least I wasn't born yet. :)
