PITTSBURGH -- Seven-time major league All-Star Dave Parker is dealing with Parkinsons disease. Parker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he was diagnosed with the disease in February 2012. Parkers condition was first reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I went in for a physical, went through the whole physical and my hand was shaking," Parker said by telephone. "The docs saw it and I said Ive been having problems with that. They said Yeah, you got Parkinsons, thats how I found out." Parkinsons is a progressive disorder that gradually takes a toll on the nervous system. Notable figures with the disease include Muhammad Ali and actor Michael J. Fox. The 62-year-old Parker said his older sister is also suffering from Parkinsons. The 1978 National League MVP is able to get by without medication at this point and relies on a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, including at least an hour a day on his bicycle. He got in his usual round of golf on Wednesday, rushing a bit to beat afternoon thundershowers. "Im managing it pretty well," he said. Nicknamed "Cobra" because of his lethal bat and cannon-like arm, Parker hit 339 home runs during a 19-year career with five teams, most notably the Pittsburgh Pirates. He helped Pittsburgh win the 1979 World Series and was named MVP of the All-Star game that year after a pair of outfield assists helped the National League pull out a 7-6 victory. Parker won another title with the Oakland As in 1989, when he hit 22 homers and drove in 97 runs at age 38. He is still active in the game, occasionally working as a hitting coach. Parker said he believes the Pirates, in first-place in the NL Central, are ready to end two decades of losing. "I know the fans are used to winning when I played," Parker said. "They desperately need a winning season. (Twenty) years of losing baseball is unacceptable as far as I concerned. When I played, we threw everything out on the field and including the kitchen sink. Its nice to see these guys doing the same." Air Max 720 Saldi . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Vapormax Flyknit Saldi .

ATLANTA -- Having to make an extra trip to play a midseason game at a neutral site would normally by cause for grumbling.Thats not the case, however, with the historic game Sunday night at Fort Bragg, N.C., between the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins.Everybody looking at it as an honor, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. It will be an honor to go play for them, give them a little something back. See those guys. Have lunch with them.The game, announced in March, will be the first major professional sporting event at an active United States military base, and a 12,500-seat temporary stadium was constructed for the event.All tickets will go to military personal and their dependents. Others will have to watch on ESPN at 8:05 p.m. ET.It wont be a big stadium but it will be a big game, on ESPN and everything, Braves starter Matt Wisler said. It should be a pretty exciting night.The teams were to stay Saturday night in Fayetteville, N.C., after flying in from Atlanta, then spend a full day on the massive Army base Sunday before heading out for their next games.The Braves (28-53) play in Philadelphia on July 4, while the Marlins (42-39) will head on to New York to play the Mets.Atlanta has won two of the first three games in the series against Miami and is 8-3 this year against the Marlins.Miami reliever Mike Dunn was part of a group of major leaguers who spent a few days embedded with the troops at Fort Bragg in 2014.Ive always appreciated our service men and women, but going there and spending time with them one-on-one really gave me a different outlook on it, Dunn said.Too visit there was unforgettable, and I think this game will be unforgettable, too.ddddddddddddSaid Marlins manager Don Mattingly: It really is an honor to be able to go. Im excited about it. From our standpoint, it should be an appreciation.It seems like not only baseball but all sports and the nation itself have been a lot better lately about honoring our military and respecting what they do for us.It is the finale of a four-game series between the Braves and Marlins that began Thursday at Turner Field, and figures to be the most memorable of the 19 the teams play this season.These military guys that were going to be around are the real heroes who give us an opportunity to do what we do every day, Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski said.Left-hander Adam Conley (4-5, 3.90 ERA) will start for the Marlins and try to stay unbeaten against Braves. He is 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA in two starts this year and 2-0 with a 3.54 ERA in four career outings.Right-hander Wisler (3-7, 4.14 ERA) has pitched only twice against the Marlins, getting a save in his only relief appearance this season.The attention wont be on the starting pitchers, though. They will be far secondary to the event itself.I feel like the energy is going to be great, Mattingly said.Added left fielder Christian Yelish of the Marlins: For me personally, its going to be awesome, who has a brother in the Marines. As soon as we found out about it in spring training, Ive been waiting for it to come along. ' ' '
