Who is Your All-time Favorite Reds Player?

[Jumper_Dad]

Little Joe. All of us could do the left elbow twitch back in the day during wiffle ball games.

Yep...did it every at bat...plus I mixed in having my little finger off of the end of the bat like Johnny.

Chris Sabo, just for the goggles.

Barry Larkin is probably my all time favorite though. He is pretty much the reason I wore number 11 my entire baseball life.

Johnny Bench

Pete Rose

Barry Larkin

Chris Sabo -- The guy made sports goggles coole. I was playing minor league baseball and wore goggles with non prescription lens' in them just because Sabo did it.

Pedro Borbone -- He has a funny name.

No doubt #1 is Sean Casey

Little Joe

Davey

Foster

Bench

Perez

Rijo

Sabo

Browning

Jr.

Freel

 

 

Rose used to be on the list but is forever tainted by his making a joke of his fans by lying to them over the past decade.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned George Foster and the greatest sideburns ever.

Eric Davis

 

It isn't even close for me. I have about 5 times more baseball cards of him than any other player I ever collected. Too bad he got hurt all the time...I could be sitting on a fortune otherwise.

 

He should have been the first 40/40 man in baseball. He hit 37 HR and stole 50 bases and missed about 30 games that season...I figured if he could have stayed healthy he could have hit 3 more HR's.

Maybe I was too big of a geek growing up, but I used to get fired up watching the end of This Week in Baseball with the symphony music and the highlights of Mike Schmidt celebrating his 500th home run and then ED going up and robbing a home run. I never watched it once without going outside and imitating it a hundred times.
