It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.

Here's one I just came upon by accident just now.
Long Bob Meusel played one season for the Reds in 1930 - his only one not with the Yankees. He played from 1920 thru 1929 with that great collection of Yankees.

There are 3 guarantees in life; death, taxes, and the leadoff walk coming around to score.

do you think aaron myette had good control when he pitched for the reds in 2004?
The Reds lost Danny Tartabull in the Rule 5 draft to the Mariners. Tartabull had a pretty decent career between Seattle and KC
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!

From a SABR bio on Tartabull:
In 1982 Tartabull hit a career-low .227 for the Waterbury Reds in the Double-A Eastern League, while playing exclusively at second base. That was his final season in the Cincinnati farm system, as the Seattle Mariners chose him on January 20, 1983, as a compensation pick after the loss of Floyd Bannister to free agency. At that time clubs could prevent the loss of players to the draft by putting them on a “protected list.” Years later, Cincinnati’s farm system director said the failure to protect Tartabull was the most regrettable decision the Reds had made in his quarter-century with the team.
