If you have yet to visit the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, you should plan to do so the next time you are at Great American Ballpark. It is widely acclaimed as the greatest collection of baseballia outside of Cooperstown.
The museum lovingly curates thousands of significant articles of Reds’ history, including jerseys worn by the likes of Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, and Tony Perez, batting gloves used by Chris Sabo, and bats swung by Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. These items are displayed to mark notable occasions in Reds’ history, like the ball Jr hit to record the first hit in GABP history, the bat Scooter Gennett used to hit four home runs in the same game, and the spittoon Bill McKechnie used in the home dugout at Crosley Field.
