Reds Players 2

PLAYERS  POST  1950

   There are a few cards where the player is seen wearing a uniform with a W on it. These cards show the player when he was playing for the Eastern League AA affiliate Waterbury Connecticut team. Waterbury was only affiliated with the Reds for 4 years (1980-83) which will give you an idea of when the photo was taken.

   Thanks to Ron Martin we now know the story of Bill Bevens and why he is wearing a Reds uniform. Having made the club in 1952 he was sold to the San Francisco team in the Pacific Coast League before ever playing for the Reds. Hal Bevan only played 3 games for the Reds, all as a pinch hitter. He had one hit (HR).
