Great player at his best, had all 5 tools, and was one of the best power/speed guys with The Reds. Also played for various other teams, and it was nice to see him make that comeback from cancer. Not an all-time great, but a talented and exciting player to watch.

Loved Eric,,,,what a gamer. Came back from a ripped kidney making a diving catch in the World Series, came back from cancer. He didn't live up to the potential that was expected from him but he was outstanding in his first few years. He was hated in racist Cincy ( see Marge Schott and Bill Cunningham) because he made was so good that it didn't appear he was making any effort.
