“In terms of all-around ability, these superstars are the four greatest Reds of all time. Each won not only a league MVP Award, but multiple Gold Gloves and Silver Slugger Awards. Their greatest seasons: Griffey — .304-56-147 in ‘97 as a Mariner, Larkin — .298-33-89, 117 runs, 36 steals in ‘96, Bench — .293-45-148 in ‘70 and Morgan — .320-27-111, 58 steals in ‘76. In each of those seasons, each player won a Gold Glove. Barry and Junior should one day join Johnny and Joe in the Hall of Fame.”
They seem to have forgotten to add Pete Rose to the card.
