The Phantom Yankee Who Never Played
Description
David Parrish, drafted twice by the Yankees and even called up to the big league dugout in 2004 after Jorge Posada’s injury, never got to play a single game—making him a rare “phantom player.” A son of Hall of Famer Lance Parrish and a solid college hitter, his minor league stats fizzled, and despite a brief, surreal stint in pinstripes, he was sent back down before his career could truly take off. After bouncing around a few teams, he retired in 2008 with a .187 batting average in the Golden League—leaving behind a story that’s as much about near-misses as it is about the grind of pro baseball.
