These pictures made this thread even more fun and the topic alone is pretty fun to begin with.
Good call! My darkhorse pic was Gene Freese!

No, the Reds retire numbers. Currently the Reds have retired 1, 5, 8, 10, 13, 18, 20, and 24--as well as 42 which was retired by MLB. Additionally, 11 and 14 are unofficially unavailable.
