Fare Th(r)ee Well

Three more legends of the game hang up their hats, and I'm fairly sure we'll be seeing them again in five or so years.

Wild Bill Wright

A key member of our club for many years, and we have retired #23 in his honour. Bill leaves the game as its all-time steals leader and will always be remembered at our club for playing as if his hair was on fire.




Willard Brown

A rare player and an even-rarer one-club player with "Sonny" spending the entirety of his career at Cincy. It's a shame he couldn't give it just one more go-around, given how close he was to 3000 hits and 300 HR, but when it's time, it's time and he leaves the game with 4 Wagner-Lajoie Medals to his name and also as one of just 11 players with 100 career bWAR or more.




Johnny Mize

The Big Cat won Championships with both the A's (1937) and Yankees (1943) and closes out his stellar career with 349 homers and nearly 1500 ribbies.
