Before Billy Hamilton, there was another slender, agile National League Gold Glove Award winner known for his speed as he patrolled center field in Cincinnati.
Nearly 30 years separate the Major League debuts of these two players, which possibly explains why this generation of Cincinnati Reds fans may not be too familiar with the original Mr. Speedy in the Queen City.
Younger Reds fans will have their chance to become familiar this weekend when Cincinnati honors the 1990 World Series champion club at Great American Ball Park.
