Perhaps the greatest dynasty in baseball history, The Big Red Machine, ruled the diamond in the 1970s. Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan and Davey Concepcion have all been honored for their efforts during that time by having their jersey numbers retired. Who’ll be the next Cincinnati Reds great to receive that distinction?
Rose, Bench, Perez, Morgan and Concepcion are not the only Reds Hall of Famers to have their jersey numbers hanging high above the field at Great American Ball Park. Barry Larkin, Ted Kluszewski, Frank Robinson, Fred Hutchinson and manager Sparky Anderson all had the privilege of their jersey being retired by the Reds franchise as well.
