I can't really just pick one favorite Red or three top Reds, I have to include several favorites on my list...................... I will list my very favorites out af many through the years.
Sparky Anderson!!
Frank Robinson
]Tony (doggie) Perez
Pete Rose
John Bench
Joe Morgan
George Foster
Ken Griffey,sr.
Cesar"chief" Geronimo
Dave Concepcion
Don Gullet
Barry Larkin and......
Lee May (the big bopper)[/b]
As for top Reds of all time it would be hard to argue with Robinson,Rose and Bench.
I will also add that my opinion is the beginning of the end of the "Big Red Machine" was when they traded Tony Perez. I believe that Perez was the glue that held that team together.
