Parker, Concepcion fall short in Hall voting
Former Reds Dave Parker and Dave Concepcion each failed to get enough votes for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Parker got 84 votes (16.3 percent) from the baseball writers — down from 104 (20.8) last year. Concepcion received 74 votes (14.3 percent) — up from 67 (13.4) a year ago. It took 75 percent for election.

Pete Rose, off the ballot because of his permanent ban from baseball, got 15 write-in votes.
Concepcion spent 1970-88 with the Reds, making nine All-Star teams and winning five Gold Gloves. He had a .267 life time batting average and exceeded .300 three times.
Parker was regarded as baseball's best player in the late 1970s with the Pittsburgh Pirates and remained a dangerous hitter through his tenure with the Reds (1984-87) and beyond. His .290 career average, 2,712 hits, 339 homers and 1,493 RBI from 1973-91 compare favorably with many Hall of Famers.
