That was in the off-season between 1971-72. The George Foster for Frank Duffy and Vern Geisart steal . . . um, I mean . . . trade came in early in the 1971 season so in a six month period, they picked up three of their eight starters in big trades. The other five all came from the Reds farm system including Concepcion and Bench who played their entire careers within the Reds system.

Saw an AWESOME shirt on a fan a few games ago. It simply said . . .

Ken &

George &

I kind of felt it should have had Sparky on there somewhere but I want that shirt.

I'd love to have that shirt as well.
