The Reds have had two opening day starters that were from the Bluegrass State? Can you name them?

[Bruce Berenyi]

don gullett?

[KeefeCato]

Woodie Fryman and Gullett. And I wish I never saw Fryman. He was a quitter. Took his ball went home to play in his tobacco.

[Bruce Berenyi]

yes but the reds get the estimable dale murray what a heist,,murray reminded me of Joe Edelen

[westofyou]

1894 - Tom Parrot

Woodie Fryman and Gullett. And I wish I never saw Fryman. He was a quitter. Took his ball went home to play in his tobacco.

Tigers picked him up in 1972 and he put them on his back and went 10-3 with an ERA+ of 154. Woodie was an odd bird, didn't start playing pro ball until he was 25, he had more innings on his arm at 36 than most but he was no good as Red, he left but he was stinking up the joint

[Bruce Berenyi]

yes west of you excellent disquisition but you failed to opine on the vast talents of dale murray

[Bob Sheed]

Rim Licker gets my vote. I remember that guy better than I should.

[Bruce Berenyi]

I think Jack Meoff was worse

[Ky Fried Redleg]

don gullett?

Yep.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

I think Jack Meoff was worse

And even when he wasn't all about "Me , " he was even worse! Think about it.
