Former MLB stars Dave Parker and Dick Allen have earned their place in baseball history, securing election to the Hall of Fame by the Classic Era Committee. Both players surpassed the required 75% threshold, with Parker receiving 14 out of 16 votes and Allen garnering 13.

Parker, a standout outfielder, spent a significant portion of his 19-year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates. During his time in Pittsburgh, he earned four All-Star selections, won the National League MVP Award in 1978, and claimed back-to-back batting titles in 1977 and 1978. He later played for the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers, achieving All-Star status with both teams. Over his career, Parker boasted a .290 batting average, 339 home runs, and 1,493 RBIs.

Allen, who passed away in 2020, made a name for himself initially with the Philadelphia Phillies. He earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1964 and was a three-time All-Star with the team. Later, playing for the Chicago White Sox, he won the American League MVP Award in 1972, leading the league in several offensive categories including home runs, RBIs, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Allen's powerful hitting and impressive statistics solidified his legacy as one of baseball's greats.

The two newly elected Hall of Famers will join the class of 2025 chosen by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, which will be revealed in January. The induction ceremony is scheduled for July 27th in Cooperstown, New York.
