The Pirates we're really good during this era. Barry Bonds,Bobby Bonilla,Doug Drabek,Andy Van slyke...etc. The Refs we're an electrifying team that caught lightning in a bottle that 1990 season.

It's a shame this league ruined this sport. This was the only league where you actually earned a playoff spot by winning. In all the other sports all you had to do was finish at .500 and you're in essentially. In baseball you had to win your division.
Psssht back in my day, these clowns wouldn’t have made it… see in my day we had guys like scooter gennett who hit 4 home runs in one game!! Then actually strained his groin the next year and retired.

@Jim McCracken I am a life long Reds fan. What I meant is the NLCS was more thrilling and nail-biting because the games were closer and the Reds actually lost some games and had to come from behind.
LOT of good memories at Riverfront Stadium. My first MLB I saw in person was in 1970 Reds vs. Mets. Reds won 6 to 1. I sat in the nose bleed red seats in dead center field but still a GREAT time.
My first mlb game was there as well. Dale Murphy hit 3 homers and a homeless lady outside the park was yelling to everyone and no one to free Pete Rose.
Does anybody remember in the this series or the World Series 1990 that in Cincy a guy was shining a flashlight in the pitchers face of the other team? He got it taken away.

Bad ass Randy Myers #28 motions to a fan @ 2:31:38... get the fuck out of my way. Myers had 347 career saves, and led the league three times including in 1993 when he had 53 saves for the Cubs. In the 1990 postseason, Myers pitched 8 2/3 innings in relief and did not allow a run and had 4 saves. He was the MVP of this 1990 NLCS pitching 5 2/3 innings in 4 games allowing only 2 hits, had 3 saves, 7 K's, and a 0.00 era.
Hate how the announcers kept underrating the Reds. They keep on hyping Zane Smith who was a decent starter in 1990, but the Reds muertalized left handed pitching that year, 7 of the 9 starters had at least a 30 pt higher batting average against lefties and Braggs and Quinones also did from the bench. Only O'niel and Morris had a significantly worse BA against lefties. The Reds were practically begging for Leyland to put Smith in.
Bull fucking shit. The Athletics lost to the Reds because they were grossly overconfident. The Pirates showed what a bunch of chokers they were the next two years vs. Atlanta.
Think about this what if Pete Rose never got caught for gambling this is essentially his team that Lou pinella sorry for my spelling took and won the World Series so in all cases it should be Pete Rose with one more ring for his hometown team if he just not gambled on baseball
This remains, as of 2017, the last time an Ohio team beat a Pittsburgh team in a postseason meeting. There have been seven losses since: 1994 NFL season: Browns against Steelers (AFC Divisional Playoff) 2002 NFL season: Browns against Steelers (AFC Wild Card Playoff) - last playoff game for Browns as of 2017 2005 NFL season: Bengals against Steelers (AFC Wild Card Playoff) 2013 MLB season: Reds against Pirates (NL Wild Card Game) 2013-14 NHL season: Blue Jackets against Penguins (Metropolitan Division Semifinals - first season that teams shared division) 2015 NFL season: Bengals against Steelers (AFC Wild Card Playoff) - closest that Ohio team has come to victory over Pittsburgh team in postseason since 1990, Bengals led 16-15 late, but allowed Steelers to get into FG range due to various fouls and resulting penalty yardage; the way the Bengals lost this game should have resulted in Marvin Lewis getting fired as it dropped him to 0-7 in the playoffs, but somehow he kept his job, keeping my top candidate to replace him, Brian Kelly, as the head coach of Notre Dame football, who went on to follow up a Fiesta Bowl appearance with a 4-8 season (and HE kept HIS job despite that, ND made the same mistake with Kelly that they did with Charlie Weis who had a 3-9 season years before; it's my opinion that ND"s TV partner NBC has been dissatisfied with ND's performance since the network began televising their home games in 1991 as the team hasn't won a national title since 1988, and if no national title is won before the end of the current contract extension in 2025 NBC will bail); while the Bengals went on to their first losing season since 2010 (which still didn't result in Lewis being fired) 2016-17 NHL season: Blue Jackets against Penguins (Metropolitan Division Semifinals)
Dave Stewart was joking about his poor hitting in the World Series up to that point (three of them). He was 0 for 6, with 4 strikeouts and one walk. In the 1990 World Series, he only batted once in Game 1 in Cincinnati, striking out. When his turn came up in the fifth, he was removed for a pinch-hitter. They lost. He pitched Game 4 in Oakland, and they alternated the DH based on home team that year, so he didn't bat. He pitched a complete game 2-1 loss, as the Reds completed the sweep.
Reds were just the better team obviously. Thinking if the NL had the DH that year, would Reds have been even better that year maybe. Imagine if the 1975-1976 Reds had a DH. Talk about dominant and a lineup no one ever from any era would want to face.
Jack Buck was a fucking asshole. He demanded the Cardinals fire Harry Caray after the 1969 season. He demanded his sonny boy get all those high-profile gigs when he was grossly unqualified. Now his sonny boy is showing what an asshole he is by cheating on his wife with a married ex-Broncos cheerleader, then marrying the woman and having kids with her.
The Pirates should have just dissolved after winning Game 7 in Baltimore on 17 October 1979. Would have saved a lot of problems. Since 1980, the Pirates have been a stain on professional sports, period.
Marge Schott was like the female baseball version of Donald Sterling, the deposed owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Weird to know pullovers were old school.
I truly love this intro
Love how both teams were wearing the pullovers. Last playoff series to feature those kinds of uniforms from both teams
I loved when the pants were semi-transparent and no jock strap.
CBS did their baseball broadcasts very well during this era. Too bad they didn't keep the contract.

That's off the wall no way that's a homer
wow I would love to see this game with a pitch clock and replay

That's what she said.
Back when the Pirates could make the playoffs. I miss those days.
Credit to Myers here. He knew the job was not done yet and celebrated accordingly.
44:17 The life of that balloon came to a tragic end, 15 seconds later.
Your post would have made a good Far Side cartoon.
As a Reds fan , i could hear Jack Buck being all fo Pittsburgh in this series .
But he did root for the Reds in the WS .
Did you know they had two mounds but 3 pitchers warming up? Showing off your math skills Huh Tim? 😉
Jim Leyland using a reliever as starter in a playoff game way before it became a trend 30 years later
2:31:08 what a pop from the crowd on this last pitch
We need our Baseball back in 2020.
When sports was real
No, that ball Braggs caught in the 9th wasn't going out.
And Sabo absolutely went around
Riverfront ruled!
It was such a simpler time then!
Who was the Pirates' best hitter? ... Bobby Bonilla? ... Andy Van Slyke? ... Barry Bonds? ... No ... Carmelo Martinez ... guy almost singlehandedly forced a Game 7.

Back when B. Bonds was skin, bones, and a mustache.
The pirates went ahead in the 9th inning 3 - 2 but the outfielder made a great play but just think if it would have gone to game 7

The introduction is pretty lame.

Pirates were robbed
I was 10 when the Reds won this series and it made me a fan for life
1990 Reds were my favorite team. Wish our current Reds played like them.
Mine was the seventies, but I was so happy for them in 1990. Now if the Bengals could win a Super Bowl, that would seal the deal.
You must be young not to mention 1975 or 1976.

Hell with a super bowl let’s win a damn playoff game it’s only been 30+ yrs.
I was there. When Carmelo Martinez hit the ball you could have heard a pin drop. When Glen Briggs stole his home run the noise was deafening.
I remember watching it on TV at a party in Clifton. Same thing. That catch saved the game.
I was in college watching this. My heart stopped when Braggs caught it. By the way, MUCH better listening to Marty and Joe call it.

Yeah, the reds smashed the a's
Yes I agree I remember watching these games live and aLoT of time it could of went either way
The 1990 World Series was a snooze fest. I liked the 1990 NLCS much better.
Better rivalry than A’s vs Reds. Especially with Drabek, Bonds, and Van style for the Pirates vs the Davis, Larkin, Rijo, Hatcher Reds.
The only time we saw two players sharing NLCS MVP until Jon Lester/Javy Baez last year

My first mlb game was there as well. Dale Murphy hit 3 homers and a homeless lady outside the park was yelling to everyone and no one to free Pete Rose.
My Reds...How I miss winning
You shouldn't have fired Dusty Baker. You won with him. Haven't since you got rid of him.
We'll be back starting to play better scored 7 runs to win in Cleveland last night in the 9th.
Does anybody remember in the this series or the World Series 1990 that in Cincy a guy was shining a flashlight in the pitchers face of the other team? He got it taken away.
Reds are 14-12 in their last 26. If our pitching holds up and our rookie CF can hit his way out of a paper bag, we might have a small chance this year
Sharon Hodges this is was a good team
I'm not a big fan of McCarver as well but he did know what he was talking about. he called exactly how the top half of the 9th was gonna go in game 5
Paul O'Neal will be the next Reds manager. I think he would be an outstanding coach.
First, it's O'NEILL. Second, he's a Yankee for life now. He would never want to go back to that shithole in Cincinnati.
