From the Burke Shears to the Sound, from wherever you live in MLB America, this is Inside the Parker.

You give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the scoop on Major League Baseball.

Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame voter number 83. Rob Parker.

Welcome into the podcast. I'm your host Rob Parker and what a show we have for you today.

We'll talk with former Major League First Basement and Outfield.

The Kevin Malar, he'll stop by. Along with longtime New York Yankees TV announcer Michael K.
