Chris Heisey Deserves Shot in Left
Heisey
Yonder Alonso had been penciled in as the starting left fielder for the Reds going into 2012. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. After being dealt along with three others to San Diego for newcomer Mat Latos last weekend, the team must look elsewhere to fill the void in left. Enter fan favorite Chris Heisey.
Despite only receiving 279 at-bats in 2011, the...

Jose Reyes on over-running second base in the eighth and being tagged out: "I went too far. I should have...

His slash line of .254/.324/.433 was good but not overly impressive. Chris did a very good job of getting on base in the minors until he hit AAA. I suspect he was a bit old for the previous levels,...

Great moment for Chris Heisey
Touching:
Chris Heisey got a bit choked up in the ninth.
He had just hit his first big league homer and taken the field for ninth with Johnny Cueto’s one-hitter the line.
But he thought of his father, Craig, who died in October of 2007 of Lou Gehrig’s disease.
“It hit me,” Heisey said. “I really wished he could be here. But he was here in spirit. He’s in heaven. Hopefully...
