by Chad Dotson on January 11th, 2012 in 1990 Reds, Barry Larkin: Hall of Famer, Bring Barry Back!, Reds - General
Barry Larkin (Chad Dotson/Redleg Nation) ***Warning: I’m gonna ramble a bit here.*** On Monday, my favorite baseball player was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. I’ve been thinking about Barry Larkin a lot these last few days. If you’ve read Redleg Nation for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m one [...] We’ve changed the name of the site (temporarily). Check it out above. The announcement of the 2012 Baseball Hall of Fame class will come this afternoon, around 3 pm. Hoping for great news. Tags: Barry Larkin |

Today, Joe Posnanski has published his “eight definites” for the Hall of Fame: the “eight players on this year’s ballot who are clearly above my Hall of Fame standard.” I agree with every single one of them, and I especially concur that anyone voting for Jack Morris and not voting for Bert Blyleven is [...] Tags: Barry Larkin |

In my (admittedly biased) opinion, it is a crime that Barry Larkin was not elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame last year, in his first year on the ballot. His second go-round is at hand, as the 2011 ballot was released to members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Monday.

When Joey Votto won the 2010 National League MVP Award, it marked the 12th time that a Red had won the Award since it’s inception in 1911 (no award was given from 1915-23 or in 1930). Reds winners are listed below, and in deference to Joey Votto’s quote about batting average (“we all know that batting average is kind of an overrated statistic”), I’ll use more modern metrics for their performance.
You most likely know about most, if not all, of these guys. Lombardi, Walters, and McCormick were stars that played with the 1939-40 Reds teams. Robinson was the best player of the late 50′s/early 60′s and played on the 1961 World Series team. Bench, Rose, Morgan, and Foster were stars from the Big Red Machine World Series teams. Larkin was a star from the 1990 World Series team, and Votto broke many Reds hitting records from this past season. by Chad Dotson on September 10th, 2010 in 1990 Reds, 2010 Reds, Barry Larkin: Hall of Famer, Big Red Machine, Bring Barry Back!, Defending Adam Dunn, Reds - General
We all have our favorites. Ask any Reds fan about their favorite player, and you’ll get a bunch of different answers, for a bunch of different reasons. Here at the Nation, I’ve written about my favorite current Reds a number of times. At the top of that list is probably Bronson Arroyo, because it’s [...] I mused yesterday that it seemed like Joe Morgan had been around Cincinnati a lot this season. Well, now we know why. Morgan will be introduced this afternoon as the Reds’ Special Advisor to Baseball Operations. Nice to have the Hall of Famer back in the fold. Next up: Barry Larkin, I hope. UPDATE: [...] |
