All the speculation on whether Bryan Price would return to the Reds as their manager has now concluded. He will be back next year for sure, with an option year included. To most involved with Redleg Nation, we see that as eminently fair. Price hasn’t had the benefit of really playing with a full deck of cards and this rebuilding process has been brutal.
The return of Price got my fertile mind thinking. The Reds have had a total of 20 managers since Fred Hutchinson passed away in 1964. That includes Tommy Helms, who took over for Pete Rose after the gambling fiasco of 1989.
