The Cincinnati Bearcats' season is 50 days away, and to pass the time until the season starts, I have given my list of the 50 best Bearcats to ever play.
The list is based mainly on time at Cincinnati, with some weight given to how they performed if they went on to play in a professional league. There are due to be a few names that are left off the list; however, the list is completely Subjective.
