A member of the Big Red Machine that terrorized the National League through the ’70s, Dave Concepcion provided decent hitting with more than above-average defense over his near 2,500 Games as a Cincinnati Red.   Concepcion never played a game in the Majors for anyone other than the Reds where he was named a nine-time All-Star and was a five-time Gold Glove recipient with seven top ten finishes in Defensive bWAR.  He would collect 2,326 Hits with 321 Stolen Bases over his career.

The Reds retired his number 13 in 2007, and the Shortstop entered the Reds Hall of Fame seven years prior.
