I remember I had a Barry Larkin poster on the wall in my bedroom as a kid growing up. That introduced me to the Cincinnati Reds and I will always be a huge fan of Barry Larkin.
We are/were from the same area of Cincinnati, he is from Silverton, and I am from Kennedy Heights, which are adjacent to one another. I competed against him in Knothole Baseball, and we were teammates in Little League football, so him ending up in the MLB HOF doesn't/didn't surprise me one bit, as a youngster, I could see that he was exceptionally athletically talented...
I'm so glad Barry Larkin beat Kurt Stillwell for the Reds' shortstop position. At the time in 1986, I thought Stillwell was the better player, but I'm glad I was proven wrong. Larkin was terrific defensively, and he hit for a high average. He also hit a good number of home runs and ran the bases well.

24:29 that’s me! :)
its a crime that *Dave Parker* isnt in the HOF
Dave Concepcion should be in the HOF also.
How much greater could he have been without the astroturf?
4 commericals in first 2 minutes. unreal!!! stop being greedy $$$

It's a crime that he got in on his second year of Eligibility and Ron Santo had to wait all them years
They’re both worth exactly 70.5 war which is amazing
3rd year of eligibility but yes, it was a crime
Should have been on his first year of eligibility. He was such a huge asset to Cincinnati Reds and the game of baseball in general.
Certainly a HOF but he didn’t deserve his 1995 MVP award that should have went to Dante Bichette unanimously.
He mid
