Who is the Best Reds Player Ever?
#38
Again, I'll easily go BEST REDS PLAYER EVER NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME, NOT INCLUDING PETE ROSE WHO GAMBLED ON BASEBALL AND FINALLY ADMITS IT.

DAVE CONCEPTION is best REDS ever not in Hall of Fame

2nd best is Vada Pinson. You can look up Concepcion and Pinson's batting stats and they are better than some players in Hall of Fame. Seems if you wore a Yankees uniform you got put in Hall, but some of those Yankees don't have as good of numbers as Concepcion or Pinson. You add that Pinson played great center field defense and add that Concepcion was the best shortstop of the 1970's winning many Gold Gloves, playing for Reds in 6 post seasons, 4 World Series and 2 World Championships. Concepcion jumping high in the air to steal a line drive hit. Conception going towards third base to turn hits into outs that Perez, Driessen or Rose or Esasky at third don't get to from third. Conception going towards second and often past second to turn hits into outs. Morgan and Conception on the double play.

Johnny Bench only wore a Reds uniform. Same goes for Conception. Conception wore Reds uniform from 1970 up to when Barry Larkin came along in 1987 and Davey was still with Reds that Spring.

So for all his years as a RED and ONLY A RED...because he never played for the Phillies or Expos.....You look up most years as a Red, hits as a Red, Games as a Red, Wins as a Red....DAVE CONCEPCION and if he never gets in the MLB Hall of Fame then there shouldn't be a MLB Hall of Fame because he is easily one of the best shortstops to ever play the game and he has the Gold Gloves and Championships and stats to be in there. They need to take a flame thrower or a bulldozer to Cooperstown if Conception never gets in. How many Championships would Reds have won in 1970's without Davey. NONE. The Reds pitching was not that great and without the best shortstop in baseball the Reds don't win anything.
