Even though he was getting older and a bit injury prone, he still came up in the clutch more often than not and absolutely could do the little things to help a ball club win. I hope he ends up back here in Cincy where he belongs sooner than later.
Yeah, I should have qualified that he earned that contract, but the Reds couldn't afford to tie up more than half of their payroll in two players. Larkin remains one of my all-time favorites. I was at the game when he got his first hit. I've met him a few times and he was a great guy as well. I was just cranky today.
