Appearently Bam Childress (wore #3) picked her out in a crowd of people, came up, and was asking her where she found one of his jerseys at because he wanted to buy some for friends and family. :laugh:
Does anyone have a picture of what the new Griffey number 3 jersey will look like?

If Ken Griffey Sr. is named first-base coach, look for him to wear his familiar old #30, and Quinton McCracken to be re-assigned John Moses's old #32.
WOY,
OFs Clint Hurdle and Dallas Williams also wore #30 for the Reds in the 80's. The only pitcher I could think of that wore #30 was Guy Hoffman.
Didn't Lloyd McClendon also wear #30 at one time?
Yep he did, I saw Dallas and Hurdle on that list too.. IIRC Derringer wore it briefly in the 30'sQuote:

Unless my memory has left the building.
I coulda swore Joey Jay wore #30.
Jay beat Koufax 1-0 in my first game ever at Crosley Field.. But what the heck I've been wrong before and will be again.
Yep, Jim Merritt too, he was the last pitcher to wear it.Quote:

I thought so. I seem to remember that McClendon bounced from number to number--he wore #23 and #34, I think--before finally settling in on #30. In fact, I think he was wearing #30 when Ken Griffey returned to the Reds from Atlanta in 1988, which was why Griffey wore #25 that season.Quote:

Just another reason why baseball is great. To most Reds fans Joey Jay is the name of a successful pitcher from the 60's. To me Joey Jay will always remind me of all of the great times I have spent with my mother down through the years enjoying Reds baseball and talking about Reds baseball. She's now 76 and when I talked to her yesterday, guess what we talked about a good bit of the time. Yep, baseball.
I'd say "That's a Good Thing". :thumbup:
