March 30, 200719 yr If I remember the Pads of the 70s correctly, JB was not on a short list. No, unfortunately the biggest Padre killers in the 70's were, well, the Padres.
March 30, 200719 yr E.D. Hal King Davey Redus Soto Honorable mention goes to Bill Gullickson. I want to say it was Andres Thomas of the Braves that took a fastball in the ribs after the Braves had roughed up Gully. Instead of the class "stand on the mound and wait for the batter to charge," Gully essentially charged home plate and set off a big-time brawl. Classic!
March 30, 200719 yr I'll have to go with: Barry Larkin Rob Dibble Chris Sabo Dave Concepcion Tom Browning All time favorite: Pete Rose
March 30, 200719 yr Hard to have just one, but here are a few... Pete Rose Bobby Tolan Tom Seaver Johnny Bench Clay Carroll Frank Robinson Mario Soto Davey Concepción Joe Morgan Eric Davis Jack Billingham George Foster Tony Perez Lee May
March 30, 200719 yr I am glad that someone started this thread. For me it is really hard to name a single favorite but I would go with : 1. Tony Perez (doggie was clutch) (the others are in no paticular order) Pete Rose (what he did ON the field) Dave Concepcion (it is a travesty that he is not in the hall, the best SS I have ever seen,JMO) Johnny Bench (best catcher to ever play the game.....period) Cesar Geronimo (man what an arm - absolute cannon) George Foster Bobby Tolan Mario Soto Tom Seaver Gary Nolan Lee May Joe Morgan Tommy Helms Chris Sabo My Favorite All Time Cincinnati Red of all Time : The Main Spark - Sparky Anderson!! :ylsuper: :ylsuper:
March 30, 200719 yr Also, there is not one current Red (including Griffey, Jr. imo) that belongs even clsse to making my list of favorite Reds.

Hal King, He had some big time hits for the big red machine.
March 30, 200719 yr Little Joe. All of us could do the left elbow twitch back in the day during wiffle ball games.
