Heartfelt Gratitude

The baseball league wanted to share their sentiments regarding Parkhurst’s death, releasing a statement that said, “We want to share our heartfelt gratitude that physically all of the players from Babe Ruth and Little League are safe and our deep sorrow to the family of the brave man that gave his life tonight protecting others.” But in spite of his heroic deeds, little did people know that Parkhurst also had his own dark secret that he had been keeping for so long.

He Had A Major Secret Of His Own

All the way back in 1968, Parkhurst and his brother, who was passed out at the time, happened to be driving in his hometown of Fulton, New York one night. Parkhurst would end up hitting a 4-year-old girl named Carolee Ashby on evening of Halloween, forcing the child to fly an incredible 133 feet away as she was struck by his car.
