Freddy Parent

Freddy Parent

Frederick Alfred Parent (November 25, 1875 - November 2, 1972) was a shortstop in Major League Baseball who played between 1899 and by|1911 for the St. Louis Perfectos (1899), Boston Americans (1901-07) and Chicago White Sox (1908-11). Parent batted and threw right handed. He was born in Biddeford, Maine.

Listed at 5' 7", 154 lb., Parent was known primarily for his fielding skills, but he also was a solid hitter and an intelligent baserunner. Twice he hit .300, including a career-high .306 in by|1901, and led American League in at-bats in 1902. He broke up three no-hit bids, as he got his club's only hits in these games. At shortstop, his fine defensive plays saved four no-hitters, including Cy Young's perfect game. He also was a member of the Boston team who clinched in by|1903 the first World Championship in major league history.

In a 12-season career, Parent was a .262 hitter (1306-for-4984) with 20 home runs and 471 RBI in 1327 games, including 180 doubles, 74 triples, 633 runs and 184 stolen bases. In eight WS games, he hit .290 with eight runs and four RBI.

Parent died in Sanford, Maine at the age of 96. At the time of his death, he was the last surviving participant of the inaugural 1903 World Series.
