There was a time when the idea of the Cincinnati Reds being unsettled at the shortstop position was complete nonsense.
By ‘a time,’ I really mean ‘a half a century.’
Roy McMillan won a pair of Gold Gloves and made a pair of All Star games for the Reds and Redlegs in the 1950s. Leo Cardenas made five All Star teams as the club’s shortstop of the 1960s. Davey Concepcion took the reins in 1970, and he effectively held them until Barry Larkin took over in the mid 1980s, himself manning the position for nearly twenty years before heading off to Cooperstown.
