1966 Topps #134 Wes Parker


About Wes Parker
Issued in Topps' second series, Parker's 1966 card reflects a season in which he added muscle over the winter and credited an enhanced diet for extra strength at the plate. He played 156 games at first base, batting .253 with 12 home runs and 51 RBI, then appeared in his second straight World Series as the Dodgers were swept by the Baltimore Orioles.
Wes Parker played nine seasons at first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers, from his 1964 debut through 1972. A switch-hitter out of Brentwood, California and USC, he built a reputation as one of the smoothest-fielding first basemen of his era, winning six consecutive National League Gold Glove Awards from 1967 through 1972 and the 1972 Lou Gehrig Memorial Award. His signature season came in 1970, when he hit .319, drove in 111 runs while hitting only 10 home runs, and hit for the cycle against the New York Mets. Parker appeared in the 1965 and 1966 World Series, helping the Dodgers beat the Minnesota Twins in seven games in 1965 before losing to the Baltimore Orioles in 1966. He finished his career with a .267 average, 64 home runs and 470 RBI over 1,288 games. After retiring following the 1972 season, Parker played a year in Japan for the Nankai Hawks, winning that league's top defensive award as well. He is not a Hall of Fame inductee.
