How did I forget about Marty Cordova?
How did I forget about Marty Cordova?
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!
Bobby Crosby should be on this list
How can Eric Karros or Chris Sabo be considered "nothing special"?
Just my two cents.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
BTW... it is Todd Hollingsworth.
Yep. I'll throw out another name that'll surely derail this thread:
Barry Larkin, 1996.
As for RoYs, here they are:

What strikes me is that the NL RoY had a very solid run 1981 - 1993. Jerome Walton in 1989 turned out to be a dud. Sabo's probably the 2nd weakest name in that stretch. Otherwise, all of the NL RoY winners from Valenzuela in 1981 to Piazza in 1993 all had very good to great careers.
Don't think I've seen Pat Listach mentioned, yet.
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

I'm going Dontrelle Willis though I really wish he would get it together...can't help but like the guy... Geo Soto was a good one I hope...probably a good guy but he DOES play for the freakin' cubs.
If it wasn't for Ryan Howard Willy Taveras would be dominating this thread.
I'm confused.
Thanks OBM, aint that a kick in the pants?
