    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings October 31, 2015 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1938 - Ernie Lombardi is named the National League Most Valuable Player, following his batting championship season. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Reds Insider: John Fay says farewell By John Fay / Cincinnati Enquirer / [email protected] / @johnfayman Thanks. Thanks for reading. Thanks for agreeing. Thanks for disagreeing. This will be my final story for the Enquirer. It’s the last of thousands. I walked into the old Enquirer building in September of 1975. I had just started school at the University of Dayton. I was hired as part of the crew that took football scores. The Enquirer sports department at the time was populated by an odd mix of characters. You knew you were in a newspaper from the sound of the AP ticker. To be heard above the clatter, you had to talk loud. Bill Ford and Dick Forbes, World War II vets who to went school on the GI Bill, were colorful guys who used colorful language. Bob Hertzel was the Reds' beat writer. I was amazed by how much copy he could crank out so quickly — and so well. They and the others formed an interesting bunch. It was pretty clear that they had a lot of fun working. I thought: Man, this is what I want to do. And so it began. I’ve covered just about every sports beat in the city over the years. The last 15 or so as the Reds' beat writer have been the most rewarding and interesting. I think a large part of that has been because of the connection I’ve developed with you — the readers — through social media.

    Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2 • The first wave of free agents entered the marketplace on Oct. 1 as 43 players elected free agency, the majority of them under Article XX(D) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
