def _parse_value(self, stats, field):
value = utils._parse_field(PLAYER_SCHEME, stats, field)<EOL>if not value and field in BOXSCORE_RETRY:<EOL><INDENT>value = utils._parse_field(BOXSCORE_RETRY, stats, field)<EOL><DEDENT>return value<EOL>
Pull the specified value from the HTML contents.

Given a field, find the corresponding HTML tag for that field and parse
its value before returning the value as a string. A couple fields, such
as 'conference' and 'team_abbreviation' don't follow a standard parsing
scheme and need to be handled differently to get the correct value.

Parameters
----------
stats : PyQuery object
    A PyQuery object containing all stats in HTML format for a
    particular player.
field : string
    A string of the field to parse from the HTML.

Returns
-------
string
    Returns the desired value as a string.
