The Cincinnati Reds are set to honor the legacy of the late Dave Parker on Tuesday night prior to their game versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Parker was posthumously enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in July after he passed away on June 28 after a lengthy battle with Parkinson's disease. The two-time World Series champion won his first championship with the Pirates in 1979. The Cobra was a seven-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove winner, three-time Silver Slugger, two-time Batting Title winner, All-Star Game MVP, and won the inaugural Home Run Derby in 1985.

The Reds will honor Parker with a tribute video, highlighting his life and playing career. His Hall of Fame plaque will be on display from 3:00 pm to 5:30 p.m. at the Reds Hall of Fame museum and at the main gates until the end of the seventh inning.

The Reds currently hold a playoff spot at 80-76 and are having special promotions this week to get as many fans as possible to the ballpark to support the team in their final home series of 2025. This is another great reason to get to Great American Ballpark as well.
