Still one of the highlights of my sports fan life.

I was taking some classes at Wright State and remember running my ass off to get back to my dorm to catch the beginning of game one. I heard the eruption from the parking lot when Eric Davis hit the HR to set the tone for the series.

Damn good times.

I was there for that and, to this day, I say E.D's HR was the biggest in Reds history...it totally set the tone for the series. it said: 'Fuck you Dave Stewart and Fuck you A's'
The pandemonioum in downtown afterwards walking across the skywalk back to the parking garage with the horns and the people pulled off on Ft. Washington Way is/was THE highlight of my sports life...until the 2002 Fiesta Bowl, of course. :)

My God, how awesome would it be to see the Reds and Buckeyes make the Championship game(s) in the same season?!?! Not saying the Reds would win it, but just getting there would be fantastic.

I think Tony Perez's two run homer on Bill "the spaceman" Lee's "Leephis" pitch in game 7 of the 1975 World Series was bigger. So were the two RBI hits that tied the game (Rose) and then gave the Reds the lead (Morgan).

From the day I was born my dad raised me as a Reds fan. He owned a liquor carryout, so dad could get comped tickets from distributors (Pepsi, Coke, Kerr, Matesich, Ohio Lottery, etc ...) at the drop of a hat, all he had to do was ask. We went to a lot of Reds and Bengals games when I was little.
Dad would let me stay up late and ride along with him in his van if he had to do a delivery at night too, so I grew up listening to Marty and Joe.

I can't believe returnable beer bottles have been gone for 15 years but Marty is still on the radio!

Anyway, I remember the 1990 series very well. I was a soph in high school that year.

The '95 and '99 seasons I don't remember so much, because I was 20-25 then and had really fallen out of watching baseball during that period. Basically, if I couldn't drink it, smoke it, or fuck it, I didn't really have any use for it.

Billy Bean did play in the 90's, so if you were into experimenting you could have done one thing on your list during that time period that involved baseball.

The Reds have not seen October baseball in 15 years.
How things have changed since 1995.



The Reds have played 2,425 games. Three people have owned them. Eight have managed them. They've had four general managers, two ballparks, where 28,245,219 fans have come watch them play since the last time this franchise tasted any champagne. They played on turf and they've plaed on grass. They've employed hundreds of players and spent more then $593 million on them.
