Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, class of 2012, sits down with Jon Paul Morosi to discuss his remarkable journey to Cooperstown. From choosing baseball over football at the University of Michigan, to becoming the face of his hometown Reds and ultimately choosing to spend his entire career in Cincinnati despite multiple opportunities to play elsewhere, Larkin reflects on how he developed into one of the most complete shortstops of his generation.
