  • Parnell spent his entire 10-year career with the Boston Red Sox (1947-1956) and compiled a 123-75 record with 732 strikeouts, a 3.50 earned run average, 113 complete games, 20 shutouts, and 1752.2 innings pitched in 289 games (232 as a starter). He is the third best ever lefty pitcher in Fenway Park with more than 25 decisions at 71-30 .703. Parnell enjoyed his best season in 1949 when he went 25-7 leading the league in wins, ERA (2.77), complete games (27) and innings (295.1). He was the starting pitcher for the American League in that's year All-Star Game and was selected again in 1951. After two 18-win seasons in 1950 and 1951, and a 12-12 record in 1952, Parnell went 21-8 in 1953 with a 3.06 ERA and a career-high 136 strikeouts. He pitched a no-hitter on July 14, 1956 against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway winning 4-0. The no-hitter was the first for a Red Sox pitcher since Howard Ehmke in 1923. After this Parnell went only 4-4 before a torn muscle in his pitching arm forced him to end his career early. Parnell still holds the club career mark for left-handed pitchers in games started, innings and victories. After his playing career, Parnell managed the New Orleans Pelicans of the Class AA Southern Association in 1959 and a series of Red Sox farm clubs from 1961-63. He was a member of Boston's radio and television announcing crew from 1965-68. Mel Parnell was selected to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1997.
