Jose Rijo is correct.  Retired in the mid 90's..  was on HOF ballot in 2001.  Got a single vote.  Then unretired later that year.  Won 5 games for Reds in 2002 before retiring for good.

I was actually at the game that Jose returned in 2001...Milwaukee won, Rijo pitched 2 innings of scoreless relief.  It was Danny Graves bobble head night.

Yes.

No idea about Corky.  LaRue and Stinnett were the 2 catchers.  I would presume that Corky was 3rd string.

Regardless, my son wanted to see Junior...I was there to see Adam Dunn.
