1977 AS roster

[JohnU]

Ah the days ... 7 Reds on the team, plus the manager.

I count 11 HOF's and 1 that we all would have bet was bound for Cooperstown when the photo was taken. Can you name them?

Ten representatives from Cincinnati in the picture....
Which one isn't in the Reds HOF?

A few interesting observations:

Tom Seaver is wearing Red, but he's only been in Cincinnati about a month.

Goose Gossage has on the Pirates black uniform while Dave Parker is wearing the all yellow uniform. John Candalaria is wearing the yellow uniform with black cap. It's typical for what the Pirates were wearing in the late 1970's. A mix and match array of uniform choices. You never knew what they were going to wear when you saw them play.

I thought LaVelle, the only Giant, looked weird.

Russ Nixon isn't in the Hall, I think.

Seaver was a month out of the Midnight Massacre.
Obviously Rose is not in the H of F. I am not surprised at many others.

Lavelle looks like he should be in the freshman team photo.

Russell Nixon recently passed away.
