A little over a week ago, the Reds made the somewhat surprising (if not warranted) move to non-tender Billy Hamilton, bringing his five year tenure as a Red to an abrupt end. The defensive wizard started 626 games in center field over that time, which is just over 77% of the available starts in that time. And in those 626 starts and thousands and thousands of innings, there seemed to be a never ending highlight reel of Hamilton making plays in the field.
He made the hard plays look easy. He made the impossible possible.
