In the long history of the Cincinnati Reds, there have been seven Rookie of the Year winners. Most were in the 1960s, with three different players winning during that decade. For all but one year (1966), the Reds had a winning record when a Red won the award. Four of the seven were All-Stars the same year they won. And every player, except maybe Pat Zachry, became a household name in Cincinnati and across the country. With the Reds having some players on the verge of breaking in — I’m looking at you, Jesse Winker and Nick Senzel — now is a good time to take a look back at other Reds rookies.
