Both Hall of Famers were elected last December by the Classic Baseball Era Committee. Allen passed away in 2020 and Parker died this June 28.

Dave Parker and Dick Allen were inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday, both posthumously. The two power hitters left a mark on the game, and fans say the honor has been a long time coming.

Dave Parker passed away less than a month away from his induction ceremony, making his son's speech hit that much harder as it happened. Dave Parker II even mentioned that he died while writing his Hall of Fame speech.
