I could have sworn Joe Black was still around, but I looked it up and he died in 2002.

I wasn't born until 62, but the fifties Brooklyn Dodgers are probably the non-Reds team I'm most familiar with. Growing up, they were legend.

This is all kind of depressing. Oh well; Sandy Koufax came up with Brooklyn in 55, so I'll count him, even though he didn't become a star until he moved west.
