Pre-WWII Cincinnati Reds

[muskiesfan]

Hello all. My name is Joe and I am a lifelong Reds fan. I'm originally from Cincinnati and now reside in Indianapolis. My wife and I go to Reds games as often as possible. We'll be in town next month for the Padres series.

I joined Net54 in January 2010, but this is my first post. I've always been a lurker, but I decided I needed to start posting.

I started a new project. I decided to make a team of what I consider the All-Time great Reds players Pre-WWII. I used 1942 as the cut off date. Players could have played after 1942, but they had to have began their career prior to 1942.

After coming up with my team, I am now going to try to get a card of each players in a Reds uniform. It's going to be tough, but I am looking forward to the challenge. I have only picked up 2 cards so far, but hopefully I'll be able to add to my collection slowly but surely.

I have a very, very tight budget, which will make this an ever more daunting task.

I didn't mean to ramble on, but that's me and my new focus in a nutshell.

Thanks,
Joe
