Nice video. Larkin was one of my favourite players when I was younger. 1990 was a good year.

Thanks,Barry Larkin is my absolute favorite player. Without a doubt, he was the best shortstop in the National League in the 1990s and just a great person too. He retired on 2/13/2005. It's time to begin the Hall of Fame campaign!

by far my favorite player ever

I am a lifelong Reds fan. I will never root for another team.  #11 is my all time favorite. Larkin is the best shortstop of all time.

The only offensive shortstop ever with Ozzie's glove and great numbers who didn't cheat. (A-Roid)

@xspfdhardcorekid417x should have been this year, next year for sure..baseball was lucky to have a class act/great athlete..not many barry larkin types out there these days..just greedy assholes on juice demanding a hundred million bucks. he came in as a red, left as a red, carried himself with dignity along the way and put up a hell of a career..played shortstop until he was 40, not many guys can..the captain #11 is going to the hall in '12.

barry was the best all around shortstop of the 90s & a class act..played the first half of his career for that racist prick marge schott and carried himself with dignity, i feel for the black players who had to play for that bitch. he's an all-star, world champion, MVP, first 30-30 ss, one of the first speed/power guys at the position and every bit as good as overrated cal ripkin..how many guys do you still see playing shortstop when they're 40? thats the kind of athlete he is, next stop HOF!

[jsg2891]

@elsassb true..he leads all non-juicers in short stop silver sluggers..barry was the best all around shortstop of the 90's..speed, power, avg/contact hitter, gun for an arm and he would have won 3-4x as many gold gloves if it wasn't for playing w/ ozzie smith most of his career. too bad those stat nerds like john heyman and buster olney kept him out of the hall the past 2 years..larkin is in for sure next year he may be the only one voted in next year..not many guys play ss until their 40s
