Dave Parker passed away less than a month away from his induction ceremony, making his son's speech hit that much harder as it happened. Dave Parker II even mentioned that he died while writing his Hall of Fame speech.

Dave Parker II will speak at the Hall of Fame induction on Sunday, nearly a month after his father died at 74.

Dave Parker's Hall of Fame plaque reads, "Superstar outfielder delivered on the confidence he brought to the ballpark."
