Reds Players 2

PLAYERS POST 1950

There are a few cards where the player is seen wearing a uniform with a W on it. These cards show the player when he was playing for the Eastern League AA affiliate Waterbury Connecticut team. Waterbury was only affiliated with the Reds for 4 years (1980-83) which will give you an idea of when the photo was taken.

He had one hit (HR).
