Ace Parker was a terrific multi-sport star - especially football and baseball. Baseball, though, was his first love and he tried to make it as a Major League Baseball player with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1937 and 1938. However, as good as he was throughout his college career at Duke University and in the minor leagues, he just couldn't crack through only hitting .179 during his two seasons. However, football was another story. Parker was a stud, an eventual Hall of Famer. He played, quarterback, tailback, defensive back. He kicked. He punted. He returned kicks. He returned punts. He did it all. A true 60-minute man. In fact, he once led the NFL in passing and co-led in interceptions. Playing for the NFL's version of the Brooklyn Dodgers, however, was like playing in obscurity and the career of Ace Parker is not as well-known as some of his contemporaries. Ace played just five years in the NFL before serving in WWII and returning for one final season, his sixth, with the Dodgers (they had moved to Boston and were renamed the Boston Yanks), and then moved to the All America Football Conference (AAFC) and the football version of the New York Yankees. It was with the Yankees that Ace played in his only Championship Game, a loss to the powerful Cleveland Browns.
