Rob Parker NSMA Hall Of Fame Sports Finalist

FOX Sports Radio’s Rob Parker has been selected as a finalist for the 2026 National Sports Media Association (NSMA) Hall of Fame in the Living Sportswriter category. Parker — co-host of The Odd Couple with Rob Parker & Kelvin Washington, MLB Network analyst, and founder/editor of MLBbro.com — is among 40 all-time greats advancing to the final round following a month-long nomination ballot by NSMA members.

“It’s an absolute honor to be considered with so many journalism heavyweights,” Parker said.

Winners will be notified in the first week of January, with inductions set for the NSMA’s 66th Awards Weekend & National Convention, June 28-29, 2026, at Grandover Resort & Spa in Greensboro, NC.

The recognition adds to a growing list of honors for Parker. He was inducted into the NABJ Hall of Fame in 2023, and earlier this year his alma mater, Southern Connecticut State University, dedicated the Jess Dow Field press box in his name.
