According to Baseball Reference there have been 1,891 different players who got into a major league game as a Cincinnati Red/Red Stocking/Redleg as of the end of the 2014 season. So I threw them all into a randomizer and off we go.

As a Mets fan, I'm not sure if you should be praised or admonished for not mentioning that Zachry was one of the players traded to the Mets for Tom Seaver. I think I'll go with "praised". :-)
ReplyDeleteyeah i decided that 1 pat zachry being worth 1/4 of a tom seaver wasn't terribly noteworthy.
