Question 6

Aaron's official Braves debut came on 13 April 1954 against the Cincinnati Reds. Aaron went 0-for-5 that day, facing this pitcher. This pitcher made his debut in 1944, but after '44 he did not return to the Bigs until 1952. He was 27 when he faced Aaron for the first time in that 1954 game. Identify this Cincinnati Reds legend, who in addition to holding an MLB record (thanks to the need for new players during WWII), also served as a Reds broadcaster for four decades.
