One of the great old timers in Nebraska baseball history was Albert “Pricky” Parr. At the age of 18, he was the starting pitcher for Dodge. At age 19 he pitched an entire 18 inning game against Rock Creek, striking out 17. The game started at 3:00. After many innings, some in the crowd left to do chores but then returned to see the game's end! He pitched in two different leagues: the Dodge Co. League and the Pioneer Night League. Needless to say, he was one gifted pitcher. He played with many semi pro teams including Dodge, Fremont, Norfolk, Oakland, Pender, Scribner, West Point and others. In 1949 he pitched his Dodge squad to another league championship, giving him a season record of 20-2. After such a successful playing career, “Pricky” managed and umpired and then continued coaching in Scribner through 1967. We do not know how he got his nickname. Welcome to the Nebraska Baseball Hall of Fame!
