I haven't done one of these in awhile, so let's try one now.

I'm thinking of a baseball player who played for the Cincinnati Reds. That ought to narrow it down to 1200 or so people.

You probably know the rules, but if you have any questions, you can consult my previous attempts - #1 (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010598), #2 (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010611), and #3 (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010616).

Good luck everyone!

Yes. Be careful with this one, though.

9 questions to go. I'll do a recap a little further down.

WHO AM I? - the recap

I am a non-Caucasian who played baseball for the Cincinnati Reds, the team I made my debut with. I played primarily in the outfield in the decade of the 1980s. I also played on the right side of the infield. I never played in any World Series for any team. I batted lefty. I no longer play major league ball. I didn't play with the Reds before 1965.

End recap. You guys must be getting close now...

Beat me to it, cuervo... I was going to say he or Eddie Milner, but Milner didn't play any IF.

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!

Kalvoski Daniels (http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/danieka01.shtml) was one of my favorite non-Tigers when I was a little younger. He had the most awesome Strat-O-Matic card (at least against righties) back in '87. The man could hit and run, but injuries took away the speed. Then the bat went. Now he's just a historical footnote.

Nice job cuervo.

Thanks. He was on my MicroLeague baseball team...my friend had played a year by himself based on 1986 stats, and a few more of us entered the league in 1987 :) Was organizing some of my baseball cards a little ways back, and found a pile with some of my old players. Kal's 1988 Topps card is still face up on top of some card boxes on a desk in the basement. So if I were to have picked a random Reds player, he might have been it :)
