    Tony Menendez

    How could the Reds have on their history books a pitcher who hurled four innings and gave up only one hit. Given the Reds history for pitching he should have been elevated to Pual Derringer status post-haste

    Gorged by the rictus of obscurity, Dan Dumoulin, recipient of panegyrics, odes, epodes, broadsides, lais, and ghazals, expelled the contumely of sportswriters by allowing 8 ER in 5 1/3 IP in 1977. What pluck.

    Marcus Moore, hexed by a Marty Brennaman curse tablet, sought the company of other reivers upon banishment.

    What the crap is going on here? I feel like I'm in Bizarro Redszone all of a sudden.


    Isn't this the dude who helped his brother kill their parents?
    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!

    Menendez got the 2-1 win over the dreaded Buccos in July of 1992, he relieved hammond, although scott ruskin might have gotten the nod from the pen

    No, no, no - Menendez was a late '50s Reds pitcher who actually left baseball and went into greater fame as a creator and producer of Charlie Brown TV Specials.
    Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
