IUFLA Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've brought this guy up before, but another forgotten Red was Frank McCormick...9X all star, MVP, and led the Reds to the 1940 World Series championship... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that was before my time...and my Dad's as well. I remember Pinson playing, just not for the Reds. Nuxhall used to reference Vada quite a bit back in the day on WLW. As far as Frank, he is an answer to many trivia questions I have heard over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Enough of this getting old talk... since the Reds and Cubs are playing what Cincinnati Red has hit the most home runs against the Cubs? Albert Pujols is the only player ever to hit more against the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
