Bill Russell, I felt like he was very overrated!!
One of my favorite moments from the 1990 season was Norm Charlton de-cleating Mike at home plate.....while wearing his stylish Reds warmup jacket.Originally Posted by Red Leader

I was at that game. I was in high school and that was our first trip to Riverfront unaccompanied by parents. We found a way to purchase alcohol at the game. They showed us on ESPN after that play. Needless to say, we all got busted when we got home that night. Luckily, we were smart enough to have a designated driver, so our punishment wasn't too harsh.Originally Posted by Blimpie

Whenever there is mention of that collision I always like to mention that Scoscia helped defeat the REDS in the game before that one by blocking Eric Davis from scoring the tying run at home. Davis beat the throw in plenty of time, but Scoscia's block stopped him from touching the plate when he slid feet first. IIRC Pinella went bonkers on the homeplate ump and got tossed b/c he thought ED was safe.... jumped up and down while doing a safe call with his arms while screaming at the ump. A classic Pinella tirade! So Norm's "tackle" had purpose and payback.Originally Posted by Blimpie
I've always hated Mr. Wonderful, Steve Garvey, with a passion.
Tommy Freaking LaSorda comes in a close 2nd.
Confession- I always liked Ron Cey- tough guy.
sorry we're boring
Living in the Bay Area intensified my hatred of all things Dodger.
Other guys I despised.
Brett Butler
Mike Marshall (2nd one)
and Bob Welch (not the one with album called "French Kiss")
some other names that deserve special mention: Forster, Reuss, Hooton, Hatcher, Howe, Fernando, Sax, Guerrero.
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Steve Sax. Doh! How could I forget that turd.

He was only a Dodger briefly, but add Jeffrey Leonard. Throw Rafael Landestoy in as well.

Rafael Landestoy was the first player I remember seeing a baseball card of that had gone to another team from the Reds. I remember looking at that baseball card and thinking: TRAITOR!Originally Posted by dabvu2498
I had that same feeling when I saw an SI issue that had pictures of Dave Collins and Ken Griffey, Sr in a Yankees jersey.
