Updating the Top 100: Joey Votto

There are seven position players who:

· Are in the Hall of Fame

· Played their entire careers post 1900

· Played a plurality of their career games for Cincinnati

The list, in alphabetical order, is: Bench, Larkin, Lombardi, Morgan, Perez, Robinson, and Roush. The two players we could easily add to that group are Rose (ineligible for the Hall due to being a horrible human being) and Votto (still active). One could ask about the lack of pitchers, but LOLReds. In other words, this is the list from which the franchise’s best player almost certainly must come from.
