The last time the Cincinnati Reds won the World Series was 1990.
Thirty years ago. It doesn’t seem possible.
Most of you remember that year. Some of you weren’t even born yet. But it was the year of Sweet Lou, The Nasty Boys, pinch-runner Billy Bates, and a special World Series for Billy Hatcher.
I watched Game 4 – it was a Reds sweep of the powerful Oakland A’s – and saw both Eric Davis and Hatcher leave the game with injuries. But Jose Rijo was dominant and Randall Kirk Myers got the last out and I went downtown to celebrate.
