WHO IS Freddy Parent?

Don’t you wish there was a team called the “Perfectos”? Parent played for the St. Louis Perfectos, who were members of the National League in 1899 (later to be rebranded as the Cardinals). Parent was famous for his range at shortstop, and his fine defensive plays saved four no-hitters, including Cy Young’s perfect game.
