IIRC, Griffey made a big impact on the Reds at the end. He was a big difference to push them over the top.Originally Posted by Big Klu

Ken Griffey filled the offensive black hole in RF, much like Dan Driessen filled the offensive black hole at 3B.

I don't remember Scott Randall at all. I thought I was keeping pretty close track of the Reds at this time. I guess not.

All I remember was that he was one of a number of late-season callups who were assigned numbers in the 60's (and in a couple of cases, the 70's). I think he was #65.I don't remember Scott Randall at all. I thought I was keeping pretty close track of the Reds at this time. I guess not.
