Ken Griffey Jr. was not only one of the greatest Seattle Mariners players of the 1990s, but also one of the best players in franchise history.
His ten-year tenure in Seattle (1989-1999) was filled with trophies, including ten consecutive Gold Gloves, seven Silver Sluggers, and the 1997 Most Valuable Player Award. Griffey desired a transfer after clashing frequently with the flamboyant new phenomenon Alex Rodriguez.
In his first season with the Reds in 2000, Griffey Jr. hit 40 home runs and 118 RBI. It would be the last time in his career that he hit 40 home runs.

In 1947, Ted Kluszewski began his professional baseball tenure with the Cincinnati Reds. Although it took him some time to adjust to the pace of Major League Baseball, he quickly regained his touch, and his statistics improved significantly.
1953 was his breakthrough year, when he hit.316/.380/.570 with 40 home runs and 118 RBIs. A year later, he lead the league in home runs and RBI with 49 and 141, respectively. His 642 slugging percentage has remained a franchise record since he retired in 1961.
In the 1970s, Johnny Bench was a member of the Cincinnati “Big Red Machine” team, which won the World Series in 1975 and 1976. In 1970, for the first time as a catcher, he lead the league in home runs with 45.
In addition, his league-leading 148 RBIs earned him the MVP award for the National League in 1970. In 1972, he lead the National League in home runs (40.0) and RBIs (125.0).
The 1989 Hall of Fame inductee played his entire 17-year career with the Reds and is widely considered the finest catcher in baseball history.

Bench’s colleague George Foster was also an integral member of the Red Machine. In 1977 and 1978, he lead the league in home runs and RBIs, and in 1977 he was named the Most Valuable Player of the National League.
After a successful decade in Cincinnati, Foster signed with the New York Mets in 1982 and was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 2003.
