Today in Cincinnati Reds history…
1970: The Reds acquired Bill Harrelson and Dan Loomer from the Angels in exchange for Jack Fisher. I’m not sure why I’m even wasting your time by mentioning this deal, except that none of the players ever played in the majors again after this trade. Fisher had gone 5-5 with a 5.50 ERA for an 89-win Reds club in 1969. Loomer was a middle infielder who never reached the big leagues. Harrelson was a right-handed pitcher who reached the big leagues at age 22, but never established himself, even in that pitcher-friendly era.
