If what I've heard is incorrect then I will apologize. This may have also been covered in the other threads, I'm not sure. I understand that of the current Reds only 1 came to Joe's visitation (Griffey,Jr). There is simply no excuse for this and if true this is beyond pathetic.
I hope this is not true.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

they should have gone as a team to something like that.
I don't think it is a coincidence that just one player went to the visitation. The team probably sent one player as team representative. IIRC, this is how the Marge Schott visitation was handled.
You guys should chill.

Could they possibly have had a private viewing that players had an opportunity to attend outside of the public viewing?
Sean Casey flew in to pay his last respects. Just sayin'.
I think we all expected this from Casey. He is a class act. I just wish more players had his mindset.Originally Posted by texasdave
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
No one out side of Griffey Dunn and David Weathers even knew who Joe was. I really dont think this is a big deal.
Some of these guys make so much money, they could of hired a private jet, and been back home in time for supper...anywhere in the U.S.
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
Only players with the reds during Joe's final (full time) season and now are
Dunn
Harang
Freel
Jr
Weathers rejoined the Reds in 05 after playing in only 16 games with the reds in 1998
He was Joe's favorite player.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
I dont think I will ever say another bad word about Jr he is a class act.

He actually drove from Pittsburgh.
If Junior would learn to temper his ego at times, along with his mouth, his better side would be shown more often. Stuff like bickering about playing CF, etc.........just doesn't go well with the fans.
I agree Junior can be a class act.
