50 years around the business. Metro NY circuit Ron Pierce being a partier is news to me
By the look of the last three (3) posts, someone sure likes the sound of themselves.
What did Parker do wrong that is keeping him out???
He didn't do anything wrong. Personally, I always liked him, admired him, and respected him. Clean and sober since 1989. His knock is that he never regularly competed against the best, on a national stage, and showed he was competitive with the best. Norman Woolworth once said, and I am paraphrasing and taking it a bit out of context--but if a guy's career, his accomplishments, his entire body of work, and he competed against the best, jump out off the page, then he's a HOF'er. If they don't jump out, then he's not. I believe in his prime, Billy could have competed anywhere, against anybody. But he chose not to. If he did, he wouldn't have been happy. I think, maybe, he needed to stay home, doing what he was doing, in order to stay clean and sober.
