Monday Morning Quiz: Top 50 Career OPS for the Reds
This morning's quiz will test your knowledge of a lot of the Reds history. By no means is this an easy one, but there are plenty of players from recent times to help you pad your stats. This is raw OPS, so the more recent players have a slight advantage. You have 12 minutes to guess all 50 (I couldn't do it).
A couple of notes: We are only looking at player since 1901 and they must have 1500 PA with the Reds to qualify. We just looking for the top OPS with the Reds, not over their entire career.
As always, avoid the comments section lest your quiz be spoiled.

It’s kind of amazing how much I’ve managed to forget some of the Reds of the last 15 years.

Eddie Taubensee agrees with you

I forgot Edwin.
I kept looking at “2005-2009” and thinking, “Who in the hell did we have that was GOOD?!”

I don't know if I can NAME 50 Reds on a Monday morning in November.
I got 21. But eight of the top eight!
Also.. no matter how many times you try to enter Kevin Mitchell, his name won’t pop up!

not enough Plate Appearances
same with Kal Daniels, who, if he had had just 102 more PA with the Reds, would have been 2nd on the list.
Definitely a good argument.

Slyde, why do you hate Kal Daniels?

I'm really surprised at how few people are getting Frank Robinson
As of right now, the quiz has been taken 59 times and only 75% of the quiz takers have gotten Robby. 79% have gotten Sabo! Come on people!
Definitely a good argument.

And there were about 8 that I’m kicking myself because I didn’t get. One of which’s taint is a former hall of fame commenter on this very site.

you could have gotten 2 of them if you had just gotten that one (his son is on the list too)
Definitely a good argument.

Edd Roush is the Reds first ever Hall of Famer, thankyouverymuch
Definitely a good argument.

It completely blows me away that a certain 3rd baseman from the ’80’s is on that list.
The man who will one day be President is, at this moment, lying in his cradle, trying to find some strategic way to get his big toe in his mouth.

bad Caleb.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

He's the '80's 3rd baseman
Really? Willie Effin Green?
