What’s Rob Reading?

Cobra: A Life of Baseball and Brotherhood, by Dave Parker and Dave JordanCobra: A Life of Baseball and Brotherhood
By Dave Parker and Dave Jordan

Dave Parker was one of the biggest and most badass baseball players of the late twentieth century. He stood at six foot five and weighed 235 pounds. He was a seven-time All-Star, a two-time batting champion, a frequent Gold Glove winner, the 1978 National League MVP, and a World Series champion with both the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Oakland A’s. Here the great Dave Parker delivers his wild and long-awaited autobiography—an authoritative account of Black baseball during its heyday as seen through the eyes of none other than the Cobra.
