This is the second part (first part here) of my new 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 1969-1970. These two
seasons featured 14 players (10 and 4, respectively) in their only Red
year. Of these 14, my collection houses 8 of them.
