Gordon Calvin Coleman (b: July 5, 1934 – d: March 12, 1994 at age 59) was a MLB first baseman with the Cleveland Indians (1959) and the Cincinnati Reds (1960–1967).
He helped the Reds win the 1961 National League pennant, and he has been inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.
Coleman made his ML debut for the Indians on Sept. 19, 1959 at age 25 in a game hosted by the Kansas City Athletics and won by the Indians, 13-7. In one at-bat as a pinch hitter, he got his first big-league hit, a fifth-inning triple off Bob Grim.
After one season with Cleveland, he was traded with Billy Martin and Cal McLish to the Cincinnati Reds for Johnny Temple. In 1960 he split time with the Reds, for whom he played 66 games, and the Reds' AAA affiliate Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League.
In the 1961 World Series against the New York Yankees, Coleman batted .250 (5 for 20) with 1 home run and 2 RBI.
He was the Reds' starting first baseman in the 1961 through 1963 seasons, then in the following four seasons he split time at first base with Deron Johnson and later Tony Pérez. In 1967, his last in the Major Leagues, he played in two games for the Reds.

- signed Jim O'Toole / Reds / HOF
James Jerome O'Toole (b: January 10, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois – d. December 26, 2015 in Cincinnati, Ohio at age 78) is a former left-handed pitcher in MLB during the early 1960's.
He played a crucial role in Cincinnati's 1961 National League championship, when he won 19 of 28 decisions, with an ERA of 3.10, second in the National League behind Warren Spahn. Though pitching effectively in the 1961 World Series, with an ERA of 3.00, O'Toole lost his two decisions to Whitey Ford in games 1 and 4, as the New York Yankees bested the Reds in five games.
In 1963, he was the starting pitcher of the National League in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, pitching 2 innings and allowing 1 earned run, not involved in the decision.
O'Toole played in Cincinnati until his final season, 1967, spent with his hometown team, the Chicago White Sox, but was ineffective due to arm troubles. O'Toole tried to return with a 1969 expansion team, the Seattle Pilots, but was cut in spring training before the season began.

The Cubs lost two games in the three-game series to the lowly Reds, 5-3. The Reds scored on two home runs and a wild pitch.
I left after the bottom of the 8th inning but was delayed in going home when I realized I'd left my wide-angle zoom lens in a beer cup holder after switching lenses before the game. Luckily, it was still there.

James Raymond Greengrass (b. October 24, 1927) is a former professional baseball player. He was signed as an amateur free agent by the Yankees at the age of 16. His minor league career spanned two years and included a failed attempt as a pitcher as well as two years of military duty. He played five seasons in Major League Baseball, from 1952 until 1956, for the Cincinnati Reds (known as the Redlegs for part of his tenure) and Philadelphia Phillies, primarily as an outfielder. His career was cut short because of phlebitis. Greengrass shares with Pop Dillon the record for the most doubles hit on the opening day of the Major League Baseball season, with four doubles for the Reds on the 13th of April, 1954.
In 1951 Jim had his best season yet, for the Muskegon Reds of the Central League, hitting for a league-leading .379 average with 18 home runs. In 1952, for the Beaumont Roughnecks of the Texas League, he hit .276 with 22 home runs and on August 28th, he was traded by the Yankees, along with Bob Marquis, Ernie Nevel, Johnny Schmitz and $35,000, to the Cincinnati Reds for Ewell Blackwell. Jim spent the rest of the year with the Reds, and his first major league hit was a grand slam home run that beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-0.
In his first full year in 1953, he hit .285 with 20 homers and an even 100 RBI. Undaunted by the so-called sophomore jinx, he started out the 1954 campaign with a record four doubles on Opening Day and finished the year with 27 home runs and 95 RBI. But he never fully recovered from a late-season ankle injury that year, and was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1955, and was gone just a year later with a major league career .269 batting average and 69 four-baggers.
Jim spent five more seasons in the high minors, hitting .283 with 20 homers for the Sacramento Solons of the Pacific Coast League in 1957 and .274 with 27 four-baggers for the Portland Beavers in 1959. He finished up his 16 active seasons in pro baseball in 1961, hitting .252 for the Jacksonville Jets of the South Atlantic League.
Greengrass spent 12 of his 16 years partly in the minors where he appeared in 1,283 games, had 4,424 at bats with 1,252 base hits (including 130 home runs) and a .283 minor league career batting average. Jim was 33 years old when he left baseball.

Overall, Borkowski hit .273 and slugged .379 in 85 games as a rookie. Nevertheless, in 1951 he slumped badly with the Cubs and was traded to Cincinnati, where he played his only full major league season in 1952. After that, Borkowski was dealt to the Dodgers in 1955 and hit .105 in nine games before being sent down to the minors. He then played three seasons in AAA before retiring from baseball in 1958.
