Worst man in baseball history was Red
Arlie Latham The Freshest man on Earth and the first coach in MLB history was once a Red
Art Fowler the man who ruined arms for Billy Martin was a Red
Babe Pinella the Reds all time season record holder for assists at 3rd was a Red before he was a famous umpire
remember when thinking of your Reds vote early and vote often
I can't think of LaCoss without thinking of his ginger afro. This isn't the best picture of it, and he was no Oscar Gamble, but still...
Fun fact: Mike LaCoss hit 2 homers during his 14-year career, and they happened in consecutive at-bats. The first was off Cardinals' utility man Dane Iorg in a blowout, the second off the Reds' Tom Browning.
And then there's this:

Hey, I’m Mike LaCoss! Check out my FORKBALL! Or split-fingered fastball, or curveball, or whatever! I don’t really like to classify my pitches. The point is -- my forkball does crazy stuff! It’ll bend your KNEES! I like to throw it when I’m angry, like when a batter tries to call timeout because I’m taking too long to decide which kind of forkball I want to throw! Arrrrgh! I hate that! But that’s when I’ll hit you off with the ol’ forky and you’ll be sorry you ever wasted Mike LaCoss’ time! How much you wanna bet I can throw this forkball over them mountains?! One time I threw my forkball so hard that it split into four baseballs and I ended up striking out a guy in France! I didn’t find out until three weeks later when the guy sent me a letter and all it said was “Nice forkball!” At least that’s what I think it said because I don’t read French! FREEDOM fries!

Dare we venture into the wasteland that was the early '80s?
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
I saw a guy at GAB wearing a Jeff Reed jersey the other day. Odds are it was actually Jeff Reed.
