Coop says he's a Red from the 70s.

 

Well, just to clarify a tad - I wouldn't say he was a Red "from the 70's". More like he played "for the Reds" for a very brief period "in the 70's."

Woody Woodward?

Well, you kind of limped in with the answer, but I'll give it to you. Julian Javier ended his career playing a brief few games with the Reds in 1973. He had a nice career with the Cards. Nicely done.
