He's maftagedSninor league teams in El Dorado, Danville, and Dallas and coached with the Pirates, Angels, Mets, Astros and Giants in the majors. He recalls watching Hall-Of-Famer Willie Mays stretch doubles into triples when Mays was baseball's newest phenom and Parker was the Giants' third base coach. "I COACHED him but he didn't listen," said Parker. "He had natural instincts. His best instincts were as a fielder and then as a hitter.

"I would be bringing him to third or trying to score him and he would be paying no more attention to me than a man in the moon. Many times I saw him get trapped in rundowns and then I saw him get out of them," Parker said. There are also vivid memories of the late Roberto Clemente nailing a runner at the plate after catching a fly ball deep in the right field corner or of Clemente making a miraculous catch with his back to the infield. "Clemente was the only outfielder that ever intimidated me," said Parker. "When I had a man on third, I hated to see 'em hit a fly ball to him." And Parker has memories of those two brief periods he was a major league manager.

For 11 games he managed the Mets following Wes Westrum's resignation and he had the same honor with the Houston Astros for one game before Leo "The Lip" Durocher took charge.

"I think youngsters need to be taught hitting," he said. "They don't hit as much as they need to. The coaches want to win too much, they need to let the kids have a little bit of fun, too.

"The game hasn't changed people in the game have changed and the owners are the blame for the problems," said Parker. "Don't get me wrong, I would have liked to have been involved in that give-away." And when does Parker figure on hanging up his spikes for the last time? "I'll keep coaching as long as I have my health and someone, will have me." LIMITED SUPPLY Reg. $49.95 4Vi Cu. Ft.
