Tell us something about the Reds we may not know
I just learned this about Johnny Cueto.

Feel free to post something else that may not be common knowledge about the Reds. |

Re: Tell us something about the Reds we may not know
The Reds until the early 20's were partly owned by the Fleischmans Brothers, who owned a giant booze company (along with their yeast business)
They sold their shares to one group and sold their booze company to George Remus (the famous bootlegger and Boardwalk Empire character) |

Pat Duncan holds the team record for caught stealing in the season, with 28, he only stole 12, that same year both George Burns and Babe Pinellia got caught 23 and 22 times themselves

Re: Tell us something about the Reds we may not know
In HS Scott Rolen was named Indiana Mr. Baseball and came in 3rd in voting for Mr. Basketball . He was heavily recruited in basketball by Kentucky, Georgia, Oklahoma State and Alabama.
Rolen also has a street named after him in Jasper Indiana. http://www.courierpress.com/news/200...game-lives-on/

Re: Tell us something about the Reds we may not know
Jayson Stark says here's what scouts/execs think of the Reds:
"I think the Giants will beat the Reds. The Reds' lineup is so right-handed. That really showed up with [Joey] Votto out. And even though he's back, I don't think he's 100 percent. So facing those Giants right-handers, I don't think they'll score enough." … On the other hand, an AL exec called the Reds "the most balanced team in baseball right now. I love their blend of youth, experience, power and athleticism." http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2012...ies-prediction

Re: Tell us something about the Reds we may not know
Joey Votto won the season OBP title for all of baseball and it wasn't even close for second place. I wish I had the actual stat in front of me but I saw it via Twitter the other day and now I can't find it again. Work is getting in the way of my baseball fandom right now, LOL

Re: Tell us something about the Reds we may not know
Adolfo Luque, first Latino player in a World Series, pitched one game in the 1919 Series. Not sure if that qualifies as something too many on here didn't know. The guy's in the Reds HOF.
