Financier Carl Lindner Jr., a former CEO of the Cincinnati Reds, died Monday night. He was 92. Lindner became controlling partner and chief executive officer of the Reds in a 1999 deal that ended Marge Schott's rocky 15-year reign as owner. In contrast to her grandstanding, Lindner stayed mostly in the background -- save for a lasting memory in 2000 when he picked up Ken Griffey Jr. at the airport in his Rolls-Royce following the blockbuster trade.
