Redleg Nation Theater: The Eric Davis Show

You know, the kids these days love the youtubes. It’s not bad for the old guys, either, largely because there’s a treasure trove of old baseball games. Not just the classic games (like Game 4 of the 1976 World Series), but also some gems like the one below. It’s an early June NBC Game of the Week featuring the first-place Reds –Vin Scully is the announcer, and he calls these Reds the “1987-vintage Big Red Machine” — vs. the Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium.

Let’s watch it together, shall we?

–Once the game starts, all anyone can talk about is Eric Davis, who was taking the world by storm that season.
