For the standards of the 1880’s, “Long” John Reilly was a power hitter. Three times he had over 10 Homers in a season (again, this was very good for this time period) two of which (1884 & 1888) were good enough to lead the league. Reilly was also a two time Slugging Champion and historically speaking is the first player to hit for the cycle three times. Reilly also had very good speed swiping 245 bases over his career.
Reilly was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 2012.
