Reds Trivia 6/28/08

by Bill Lack on June 28th, 2008 in Reds Trivia

September 16, 1961: The Reds trade Claude Osteen to the Senators for Dave Sisler.

This ranks as one of the worst deals in Reds history. At the time of the trade, Osteen had a 5.07 ERA in 60 innings, but had just turned 22. He went on to win 196 major league games, and was twice a 20 game winner with the Dodgers. Sisler, whose father George was a HOF first baseman and brother Dick was a Reds coach, pitched one year in Cincinnati.

All “Reds trivia” posts come from Greg Rhodes and John Snyder’s fabulous book, “Redleg Journal” (see link for purchasing) and are used with Greg’s permission.

Thanks again to Greg Rhodes for permission to use his material.
