Is it possible to be a baseball fan without being something of a sucker for nostalgia? Is it possible for, more specifically, those of us who’ve cast our lot with the Cincinnati Reds not to live with at least one foot in the past at all times when watching the sport?
The Reds have not won a postseason series since 1995, or before half the current roster was even born. We’re well aware, steeped in the verse of the electric heights reached by the club in the go-go 70s, in part due to its extreme peak and, more aptly, because it was one of the last times the club really did anything of note on the regular.
