The Reds have an unbroken string, going all the way back to 1965, of having at least one player every year who spent his entire career with the Reds. The torchbearer now is Edwin Encarnacion.

If you want to include the minor leagues (EE came from the Texas Rangers), that honor goes to Joey Votto.Originally Posted by BCubb2003
It has to be major league career for the string to go all the way back to 1965.
I wonder who's more likely to end up spending his whole major-league career with the Reds: Edwin or Joey?
Jay Bruce, Chris Dickerson, Cueto, Bailey, we've got a few albeit short careers thus far.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
