I remember a lot of them because that was pretty close to when the Reds swept their asses in the World Series.
Dave Parker, Walt Weiss, Carney Lansford, Terry Steinbach, Dave Henderson, Bob Welch...

I may be off a touch on the years, especially with Parker and Dave Henderson, but they were pretty damned loaded.

I don't think Parker was on that team. If he was I don't think he played much. Steinbach and Lansford were for sure. And I think you are right on D Henderson.

Found an old TIME magazine that my Aunt kept because Pete Rose was on the cover. 1985. There was a 2 day strike that year (Aug 6, 7) so there was a small article in the magazine about it.

Check this out:

Rookie starting salary minimum set at $60k.

The new minimum they just settled on? $700k

ESPN has Votto mic'd up and they are talking to him during the game while he is on the field. This is crazy.

MLB Radio is talking to Yankees announcer John Sterling. They are pretending people enjoy his annoying schtick.

MLB Radio : "What are you going to say when Donaldson homers?"

Sterling : "Not sure. But it will be fucking annoying."

Reds are in 1st place. Fucking smoked the defending champs in their house last night.

Ruined their special night and sent all those racist tomahawk choppers home all sad.

Get used to it motherfuckers.
