Billingsley99 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sorry did not see it discussed in the baseball thread before I posted this but like @5fouls said this one is closer to home for us in that age bracket that are Reds fans. I feel Joe needed a tribute page of his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 My son and I met and had our picture taken with Joe a few years back when the Reds Caravan stopped in Louisville. A couple of things I always remember about Joe. Flapping his arm (the ol' chicken wing) while at bat, Dancing off the first base bag after getting on and driving opposing pitchers absolutely crazy.
