Pokey Reese won back to back Gold Glove Awards as the everyday second baseman of the Cincinnati Reds in 1999 and 2000. He spent a good portion of the work that earned him those honors making spectacular diving stops on the infield, rising, and firing over to a first baseman named Dmitri Young.
Reese and Young spent the entirety of the 1999, 2000, and 2001 seasons as teammates on the Reds. The two each turned 50 years old last year. Now, they’ll get to have a little bit more fun together as official grand marshals of the 105th Findlay Market Opening Day Parade.
