    Re: Your top 10 Favorite Reds of your lifetime

    A previous post mentioned Doug Flynn. What a great guy. My wife and I had the pleasure to meet him this year at GAB for a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting. He came up to us, introduced himself, talked to us and asked us questions about our family. he even let me try on the 1976 World Series ring. A strong christian and a Kentucky boy to boot.

    Pete Rose is however my favorite. I have his book, and he lives and breaths baseball. He did not play it for the money, he played it because he loved the game, and the reds. We have him to thank for our 1990 World Championship, he was the architect of that 40 man roster.

    I have had several opportunities to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and have declined. The Hall is illigtiment without him there. My first time to Cooperstown will be the day he is inducted, no matter how long it takes. Remember he averaged 200 hits for 20 years. A record that will NEVER be broken.

    George, you sound like a true fan. Don't deny yourself a trip to the hall if you ever have the chance.

    Pete is all over the place, anyway. His accomplishments are well documented there.

    Go see the hall. You'll never get there with your current plan.

    Re: Your top 10 Favorite Reds of your lifetime

    I can't even begin to make a list of only 10. I love most guys who have adorned the wishbone C, save for those who took years off of my life that I have mentioned in the other thread.
    My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

    Joe Morgan
    Leo Cardenas
    Johnny Edwards
    Eric Davis
    Tommy Harper
    Ken Griffey Jr.
    Johnny Bench
    Sean Casey
