This is the twelfth part of my running theme, unimaginatively dubbed 'One and
Done'. Here, I focus on cards of Reds players who, whether it be their
only year in the bigs or their only year with the club, found themselves
on the Cincinnati roster for only one season, yet long enough to sneak
onto a card donning the Cincinnati red. That was a very convoluted
sentence that I am choosing not to edit.
Today we're looking at 2000-2004. There were 14 one-and-doners 2000-2002, then a whopping 22 in 2003-2004. Not sure what happened there. Of these 36, I only have 11. Unacceptable.
