Yeah, incredible throw. I appreciate it as I played right field and Catcher and was considered as having a very good arm and Glove. Unfortunately my barely above Mendoza line batting average wasn’t going to make it at the College level so I gave it up after High School / American Legion.
The fact that the ball Parker threw was on the fly was crazy. Carter made a good play, all made possible by Parker.

Sometimes Dodger catcher Steve Yeager dipped BELOW the Mendoza line (1978), and he still started for a World Series team. His fielding and leadership was that good. They should have batted him 9th when Rhoden was pitching, since Rhoden was actually a decent hitter.

When my college roommates played strato-matic baseball, snake-eyes on the dice was referred to as "Home run for Yeager".
