Reds Player Sets 670 Selding Average Record
1040 he set the league record with a 670 Selding average. The Braves just didn't have the victory complex, was Eddie's ex planation. The 27-year-old player expects the Reds to be in the pennant fight again this year, come what may. You can't tell what the draft will do to your players. But I don't think anything will affect the spirit in the Cincinnati clubhouse. A team's either got that 'winning spirit or it hasn't, the Reds have it.
