They won the World Series Championship most recently in 1990. They defeated the Oakland Athletics behind pitcher Jose Rijo, outfielder Eric Davis, and shortstop Barry Larkin.
The most famous era in Reds history was the 1970's. Known as "The Big Red Machine" the Reds became one of the strongest teams in Major League Baseball. Fueled by the eventual all time hits leader Pete Rose, and notable catcher Johnny Bench the Reds dominated their division, winning a number of League Championships. Other important players on the team included Joe Morgan, now a television analyst, and Dave Concepcion.
The 1980's brought the Reds unfortunate circumstances. In 1989 the Reds manager and legend Pete Rose was banned for life from the game of baseball. He allegedly gambled on games involving his own team. Rose is considered the greatest hitter of all time. He is the Major League leader in total hits, at bats, and games played. Rose won a Most Valuable Player award, made seventeen All Star appearances at five different positions, and won three Batting Titles. Unable to enter the Hall Of Fame, Rose is still a source of controversy in the game of baseball.
With the addition of new manager Dusty Baker the Reds are looking to have a great 2009 season. They have a promising roster, and one of the greatest minds in baseball to lead them. Yaytickets.com provides a place on the net to buy Reds tickets at amazing prices. |
