While George Foster would not become a Hall of Famer he was the favorite of many fans of the Big Red Machine, and why not?  This was the man who had the power numbers and let’s face facts; Home Runs make the highlight reel.

11. Noodles Hahn

Sabremetrically speaking, Frank “Noodles” Hahn is the most effective Pitcher in Cincinnati Reds history.

He also has one of the best nicknames in franchise history.

7. Bucky Walters

Considered by some to be a significant Hall of Fame snub, Bucky Walters was a dominating Pitcher for the Reds in the late 30’s and early 40’s. 

5. Joey Votto

Joey Votto had a claim at one time as the best hitter in baseball.

While most people know that he is good, they might not be aware this is a player who won the National League On Base Percentage Title seven times (including four in a row from 2010 to 2014, batted over .300 eight times, and is also a former Slugging Champion.  With that last accolade, the Canadian clearly has power as he has well over 300 Home Runs, and 2,000 Hits in a career that was only been spent in Cincinnati.
