    Bill Plummer was back up cather to Johnny Bench, the greatest cather in the history of major league baseball. Bill was thought of as the best back up cather in baseball during his career in Cincinnati. He could have started for many other clubs. He will always be remembered as a great asset for the Cincinnati Reds.

    Owners are businessmen. They don't care about anything other that their ROI and profits. They shouldn't be included this

      Did you pick that up at your latest KARL MARX wannabe club meeting?
      This may come as a big shock to your system: BUT, there are people with wealth who care about more than just money.. and, there are good salts of the earth tycoons and there are bad, rotten soul-filled ones, just like there are other people that fit those terms as well, people who have never been anywhere close to being rich, people are people.. and there are even some in good and bad in-between.
      And..
      There are owners who care(d) about winning just as much as their RETURN OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENT.
      Does the name GEORGE STEINBRENNER ring a bell?
      How about GENE AUTRY, or in modern days the LA DODGERS owners including MAGIC JOHNSON? And even more!
      And, many of these kinds of owners have saved franchises from moving or folding.
      You on the other hand need to stop being a bigot and stereotyping people you have never met or really know because it makes you feel above them when putting down those people, only to make yourself feel better about you, something that is not growing your character as a person one inch.
      Think about it!
      And, if you lean toward it, do not be gullible enough to be a pro- MARXISM, useful fool.
      Research MARX and you’ll find he was a conman and his rich friend FRIEDRICH INGELS was, too.
      Marxist redistribution eliminates future growth by the nouveau riche who hope to be competitors for the old money billionaires and new money corporate billionaires.
      Marxism destroys small business owners, the middle classes and makes the dependent poor become a tool of politicians trying to manipulate their votes, simultaneously doing that while never growing in anyway toward any prosperity.
      Don’t be duped.
      Think about it.
