Parker Inducted Into Black Journalists HOF

• Congratulations to Rob Parker, co-host of FOX Sports Radio’s The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker, MLB Network analyst and Founder/Editor of MLBbro.com, on his induction into the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Hall of Fame on Friday, August 4, during the NABJ Convention & Career Fair in Birmingham, AL. Parker was honored for his 37-year career in journalism, during which he broke barriers and uplifted young sports writers.

During his acceptance speech, Parker said, “Thank you to NABJ. There’s nothing better than being honored by your own people, your peers, so this is very special to me. I want to thank my family, my friends, all the people who have supported me throughout the years… all my mentees — they fuel me, they inspire me every day… how I got here is that plenty of people helped me along the way, and that’s what it’s all about.”

“We couldn’t be prouder of Rob,” said Julie Talbott, President of Premiere Networks. “He truly deserves this recognition for his trailblazing career in sports journalism, and for his continuing efforts to elevate and mentor the next generation.” For more info bout the NABJ Hall of Fame and its honorees, visit nabjonline.org.
