The Cincinnati Reds have eight bronze statues on display at Great American Ballpark. Tony Perez is one of the Reds that has his likeness portrayed in this way and has been there since 2015. That puts him in the discussion of one of the best eight players in Reds’ history.
The Reds have four players from the Big Red Machine memorialized and four players from before that period. The only pitcher that is celebrated with a statue is former Reds’ radio announcer Joe Nuxhall. He is a local boy made good.
Nuxhall was 135-117 over 16 MLB seasons.
