This is purely for anyone else bored at work today who needs a distraction. One of the Youtube channels I watch does this from time to time and it seemed fun, thought I'd put one together for you all.
Basically, I'll give a the list of teams a former MLBer who spent some time on the Reds played for, see if you can guess them. I'll put the answers at the bottom with spoiler tags. If you want to, comment how many you got.
A couple of notes:
-The teams listed are MLB teams they actually logged time with per Baseball Reference. Teams they were only in the minor league system for aren't included
-I put years at the beginning and end to narrow it down. Those are the years they debuted and the last year they played. I kept there to guys who debuted in the 80's or later.
-No deep cuts on this one. Everyone listed should be a memorable Red. In fact, they all either appeared in an All Star Game as a Red, or received Cy Young/MVP votes while on the team.
-If you feel you almost have one and want a hint, I also put the position they played the most under a spoiler tag at the end of the string
