Our final first-round matchup in Reds Madness features two all-time greats in Cincinnati Reds history. The Reds dominated the 1970s, in no small part to the contributions from Joe Morgan and Tony Pérez. The No. 3 seed, Little Joe goes head-to-head against the No. 6 seed, the Big Dog in our last of four first round battles.
Was there a better all-around player during the 1970s than Joe Morgan? The Little General, who stood only 5’7″, was larger than life on the field. From 1970-1979, Morgan slashed .282/.404/.455 with 275 doubles, 173 home runs, and 720 RBIs.
