I Want to be Wanted

Frank Dwyer played professional baseball for five teams in five years before he joined the Reds but it was in Cincinnati where he ceased to be a nomadic player and would hurl for the Reds for seven and a half seasons.

Arguably one of the greatest hitting Pitchers of his or possibly any era, Red Lucas was a solid presence on the mound winning 109 Games for Cincinnati.  His best season was in 1929 where he would lead the NL in WHIP, H/9 and finished 6th overall in MVP voting.  As for his hitting, he was a career .300 hitter with 293 Hits for the Reds. 

The Reds chose Lucas for their Hall of Fame in 1965.

Eric Davis was poised to be one of the great power hitters of his time, but injuries took their toll on the Outfielder.  Davis would have a significant run in the late 1980s where he would become one of the game's premier power hitters putting together four straight 25 Home Run seasons with a pair of Silver Sluggers.
