In 1938, the world heard Costello ask Abbott, “who’s on first?” for the first time. It’s been 77 years, and Cincinnati Reds fans have altered the famous phrase a little to ask, “who’s in left?”
Those die-hard followers of the Redlegs have watched Marlon Byrd, Ryan Ludwick and Jonny Gomes try to lock down the left side of the outfield the last few years. It has been a carousel of odd-ball names the team has thrown out there, reminiscent of tossing darts at a dart board.
