Greatest Red I saw live was Eric Davis

J.D. Drew hit the farthest live HR I've ever seen. It went like 480 feet in Busch II.

Barry Larkin is the best player of all time I saw play on a consistent basis. In the early 90s my dad and I would go to well over 25 games a season for about a 5 year stretch of time.
The first time I saw Griffey Jr. in person was impressive. He looked so effortless and fluid; born to play the game.
Tiger Woods....you didn't specify the sport.

Some others who weren’t great players sure played like it
Watched Travis Hafner hit four home runs in a three game series in Boston and Jake Peavy was great in a game against Miami in San Diego.

Reds Fan Since 1971
Alas, dead before I was born, truth be told I chewed a big chunk of the old guys off at the 1971 AS game
