and the topps back:

parent had just 1 at bat for the rangers (he struck out) in 1991. that was because he was severely injured during a spring intrasquad game. that injury was significant, not just for parent, but for the rangers as well. as a result of parent being unavailable, they promoted ivan rodriguez, and the rest of history. after the season, parent became a free agent and signed with the baltimore orioles.
