1990. The best year ever for a Reds fan who wasn't around in the 70s. Eric Davis is my all time favorite player along with many players on this Reds team. Larkin, Sabo, O'neil, Rijo, the nasty boys, etc.
I'm from Cincinnati. I was around in both the 70's and the 90's. I've been selling flowers in bars and nightclubs since 1991. I've been really lucky because I was able to meet Jose Rijo and Eric Davis. They're both genuine people. I too loved this 1990 Reds team!
Marty Brennaman said for years that the 1990 Reds team was his favorite. Having been around for 45 Reds seasons, including the ‘75 & ‘76 WS Championship years, I think he can be considered an authority.
I totally agree with you! I was lucky enough to go to one of the 1975 World Series Games. What's really Ironic is that I was born in Bronx New York and came to Cincinnati when I was 5. I became a Reds Fan at 7 (1967). My Uncle George Fisher owned the Staten Island Dry Cleaner's in the Bronx a few blocks from Yankee Stadium (You could see it from front of his shop). I have always been a Reds fan all my Relatives have always been Yankee fans. I have even held a Baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle (I didn't find out until 2007 what year that Baseball was signed), it was 1951, the only year that they played on the same team is what The Boss of the Mortgage Company told me, because he had a Giant framed photo of 4 Yankees together in his Office, just like the One's with Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez! My best friend has a Reds Room dedicated to nothing but Reds paraphernalia and collectables etc. I do agree with you and Marty. The 1990 Reds were very strong. You have to give Jose Rijo credit because he was virtually unhittable! We also had a Solid Offensive and Defensive. 1990 was awesome. Most recently I think it was 2010, we had Johnny Cueto and The National League MVP that year our First Baseman and still Team Captain Joey Vitto, both get hurt at the same time when we beat the Giants twice in Sanfrancisco and they came to Cincinnati and swept us and went on to win the World Series Championship when that should have been the Reds. As a matter of fact both I believe got hurt in the Process if Sweeping a 3 game series with the Giants at candlestick park. Voto twisted his ankle stretching a double into a Triple and Cueto developed Arm problems in that series, I'm pretty sure. It's hard to win a Championship when your best hitter and best pitcher go down. Ironically Cueto and Volquez both helped the Kansas City Royals win the World Series Championship! Without them, they lose!
Also, a friend of mine is an International Reggae recording Artist, Junior Mark. He's got TH-cam videos too. In any case Eric Davis is his Cousin. He formally introduced me to him at a Bar/Nightclub that he was part Owner of. Pretty cool dude still. The sad thing is that out of the 6 bars Nightclubs in Roselawn, only one of em (Brandy's) remains open for business. Supposedly Brownstone at the corner of Summit and Reading Rd, is supposed to be opening up again soon. Eric Davis was involved with a different one. I won't mention because I don't know if he was a silent Partner or not? In any case Eric Davis is still a Stand up guy. I also heard that he was helping and coaching Young aspiring Baseball Stars in Lexington Kentucky.
I sure miss these days at Riverfront. The stadium by no means had the intimacy and love of Crosley Field, but it had winners and legendary players, games and incredible history unlike any stadium during its relatively brief history. Some Reds fans will remember that the Spaghetti Factory was situated where Paul Brown Stadium is now located. We used to eat there before the game and go to Empress Chili after the game. I had a 1989 Mercedes 560 SL and one beautiful girl next to me.
Oh wahhhhh. Would you like some cheese with that whine? Lol. By the way I have seen a huge amount of variety of teams on Sunday night baseball over the years.
@@perryegolson833 Who the fuck are you talking to? I'm not whining, I'm just stating reality. And you haven't seen a "huge amount of variety." It's big market teams always. You haven't been watching long enough to know what I'm talking about. Any dickhead can be a Boston or Yankees fan. It can't be fun.
This IS the game where Norm Charlton collided into Mike Sciocia at home plate, HAPPENS AT THE 2:01:30 mark, Charlton was made he got hit with a pitch & thought Sciocia called it so he got some revenge.
Damn lol, the collision looked like it hurt Charlton more than it hurt Scioscia. Scioscia got right back up like nothing happened. Have to give these old players credit, they were tough as nails.
I miss the reds and dodgers rivalry. I wish the reds would have stayed in the west. I loved the late games here in Cincinnati when they played the dodgers in LA. Great rivalry for a long time
Eric Davis was the greatest player stat wise from 1986-1990, and arguably great again in 1996 & 1998. What a player!!! Seven 20/20 HR/SB seasons, and the only player ever with a 35/50 season, and one of two with 25/80! and 02:01:30 is Charlton knocking Scioscia over because of how Mike blocked the Reds runner a few nights before!!!
This game was five days before the game Fernando threw his no hitter as well as Dave Stewart for the A’s. I attended Fernando’s no hitter in 6/29/90 at Dodger Stadium and got some autographs on my program from Jim Gott, Rick Dempsey and the late Mike Sharperson.
There's a missing backstory to Charlton bulldozing Scioscia at 2:01:30. Two nights earlier, the Reds lost to the Dodgers partly because Scioscia blocked the plate to prevent a Reds' run. That was fresh in Charlton's mind when he came rambling towards the plate. Scioscia was widely known to be a plate blocker, and Charlton wasn't taking any chances.
Looking at the Dodgers starting lineup, only 2 position players were there from the 1988 Dodgers World Series lineup, Mike Scioscia, and Alfredo Griffin. Only two seasons from the 1988 World Series championship.
Top of the 7th,in a span of one batter, Joe Morgan refers to Janet Jackson as Janice Jackson, Miller calls the home plate umpire Rob Dibble, and Morgan refers to 1983 as 1973. 3 glaring errors by a couple of world class announcers.
The greatest Dodgers-Reds' game I've ever seen was the 1974 opener. The Reds won in 14 innings, after the Dodgers loaded the bases in the top of the 14th with no one out and didn't score. The Reds subsequently loaded the bases with no one out in the bottom of the 14th, and won the game.
The Nasty Boys was the first evolution of the specialization relief pitcher. They really made it a 6 inning game. The rest of baseball copied that formula, especially after they swept the Oakland A’s in the World Series.
It was originally done as a sop to the Cubs, who had a lot of big-market clout and wanted to be in the East division for better TV start times and so they could play more games against their then-archrivals the Mets. Then the Cardinals, who saw the Cubs as *their* archrivals, insisted on being in the East too. To keep the divisions balanced, two of the other eastern teams had to go in the West, and Atlanta and Cincy were the westernmost cities among those, so…
Obliterates mike? Really? Mike jumped right back up unhurt. Charlton's head snapped big time, he was rattled and paid the price for going up against brick wall scoscia. Look how his head snapped back on the collision, Charlton paid a big price for a stupid move with a big lead. Mike was fine as he bounced right back up. Charlton is the one who had to absorb damage. Look closely at the collision. If he obliterated Mike, then why did he get right back up with no problem??
@@rayburnmilner7351 Dropped the ball, shin guards, chest protector. back covered in dirt where you cant see his name or number.like Morgan said no one had done that to Mike S. Yeah stick by my statement.
Scoscia was a brick wall. Notice on the play Mike was not the one hurt, he got right back up. Charlton's head snapped big time on the collision. For sure Norm Charlton got the worst of the collision, the way his head snapped,, he was not feeling well and Scoscia was fine. Charlton paid the price for his bonehead move to score with a big lead because he lost his cool, he was the one that got rattled.
I didnt realize I had an unpopular opinion but upon reading these comments maybe I do. I never liked Morgan's casting, or the other guy here. And I'm a reds fan. Back in games like this I'd have the tv muted and Marty and Joe on. I'd do that with all Reds games, even the home broadcasting team
I know exactly where I was when the Charlton play occurred..was driving back home from Columbus Oh., to Cross Lanes, W.V., listening to it on the radio
John Manier I was at that game in LA. Got a program signed by pitcher Jim Gott and catcher Rick Dempsey. Dave Stewart also threw a no hitter against the Blue Jays that same evening.
There are no good announcers that I know of anymore. I never hear a good voice when I watch highlights. It's a lost art. Even old players were better at speaking than modern day trained broadcasters.

I'm 41 now... this was the first MLB game I ever attended... so special to me... ❤
Me too! I attended the day after I migrated from Pakistan. Great times!
Loved sunday night baseball back in the day joe morgan and john miller was the best
@MANCHESTER UNITED Shut up.
I cried when I heard Joe Morgan died. I literally shed some tears. He was a Great inspiration and a Great Baseball player and Announcer too!
@M cool. people can like other things

As an old old old soul person for 1990, I sure do miss hearing Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.
I love watching these old games.
I think this was probably the last time the Reds were on Sunday Night Baseball. It's Boston vs. New York every single week of the season these days.
Lol not even remotely true.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 yeah, NY, LA, Chi and SF the other weeks
They were on a couple times in the early 2010s, when they were still a contending team.
Oh wahhhhh. Would you like some cheese with that whine? Lol.

Ah, good ol' Riverfront. The bounces there were predictable but unforgiving because of the AstroTurf. Man, that '90 squad was special.
Canderous92A10 yes it was special.
I was as this game as a 9 year old with my late father. What a great day.
The reds should promote Billy Hatcher to manager

2:01:53 - The Reds NAZI owner approved!
@@paulwblair
Good.
Mike Sciocia went to High School where my kids went. Mike was from Morton Pa and went to school in Springfield Pa.
@@paulwblair come on give me a break she was a nice lady
@@harveyboy7019 of course someone like you would say that...
Damn lol, the collision looked like it hurt Charlton more than it hurt Scioscia. Scioscia got right back up like nothing happened. Have to give these old players credit, they were tough as nails.
I don't know what you're watching, Charlton was just fine and kept pitching.
Sadly today, we hear that Joe Morgan has passed away at age 77.
I miss the reds and dodgers rivalry. I wish the reds would have stayed in the west. I loved the late games here in Cincinnati when they played the dodgers in LA. Great rivalry for a long time
Me too! I loved the Dodgers rivalry and I loved listening to the late night West Coast trips in LA, San Francisco and San Diego on the radio.
Thanks for the game any more would be appreciated.
Jon Miller and Joe Morgan was MLBs madden and Summeral

this would have been the hot ticket back in the day
Watched this game while on vacation in Myrtle Beach we went wild.
Joe Morgan and Jon Miller was awesome
Just realized that when Frank Calliendo talked about John Madden being simplistic in every sentence, he actually refered to Joe Morgan!
What a Great Summer in Cincinnati to be a 23 Year Old!!!
This was a couple of days before my high school graduation. Time does fly.
Fernado Valenzula was such a treat.
As usual Rus picks a winner. Great game.
Looking at the Dodgers starting lineup, only 2 position players were there from the 1988 Dodgers World Series lineup, Mike Scioscia, and Alfredo Griffin.
Only two seasons from the 1988 World Series championship.
This defines the Nasty Boys of 1990... 2:01:34 Go Reds! ⚾
Top of the 7th,in a span of one batter, Joe Morgan refers to Janet Jackson as Janice Jackson, Miller calls the home plate umpire Rob Dibble, and Morgan refers to 1983 as 1973. 3 glaring errors by a couple of world class announcers.

The Reds Dodger rivalry was fun. Those teams hated each other. I watched it. Good times. Go Reds.
Rest in honor Joe Morgan #8 [1943 - 2020] :'( #BigRedMachine
The Nasty Boys was the first evolution of the specialization relief pitcher. They really made it a 6 inning game. The rest of baseball copied that formula, especially after they swept the Oakland A’s in the World Series.
I wonder who came up with the idea to have Atlanta & Cincinnati in a West Division. How many cities is Atlata west of?
It was originally done as a sop to the Cubs, who had a lot of big-market clout and wanted to be in the East division for better TV start times and so they could play more games against their then-archrivals the Mets. Then the Cardinals, who saw the Cubs as *their* archrivals, insisted on being in the East too.
To keep the divisions balanced, two of the other eastern teams had to go in the West, and Atlanta and Cincy were the westernmost cities among those, so…
With exception of the Great Eddie Murray, that Dodger lineup is ugly.
the whole decade of the 1990's was ugly for L.A.. it was actually the worst decade for the Dodgers in the 6 decades they've called L.A home.
2:01:30 The moment all of you came to see
Hollywood Glitter vs. Blue Collar Grit
1990 was the Reds year. Was it hollywood glitter that smashed the mets and a's in 1988? Don't be so stupid with dumb ass comments like that.
RIP Tim Crews
JIM ABBOTT IS THE GREATEST ANGEL OF ALL TIME
32:53 you could see conditioning creeping into the game and changing it then
The greatest play in MLB history,Norm Charlton obliterates ,mike sciossia. Love ya Norm,all time red great. Still gives me chills. 1990 team mvp.
