1990 World Series, Game 4: Reds @ Athletics

[@jefftaylor8644]

Cincinnati will never forget you boys. That team did whatever it took to bring it home

[@danielkelegian5306]

As a Mets fan, this 1990 Reds team is vastly underrated. They held onto first place in the West from Opening day till Closing day. They had a mix of good power, speed and that bullpen was scary and won a lot of games for them. Plus Pinella was IMO a great manager.

[@elbob17]

I sold my soul to the Devil for the Reds to win this series at age 14. I turn 48 next month and we haven't won shit since. I still made the right decision.

[@ShawnC.T.]

Being a native Cincinnatian, this 1990 WS title gave me more pride than in 1975 & 1976, with the "Big Red Machine", they were expected to win it all, this 1990 team came outta' no where to pull it off...

[@ibrow33441]

My man Eric The Red was never the same after lacerating his kidney in this game. I remember crying when he had to come out of the game. Did you know Marge Schott was so tight that Davis had to pay for his own plane ticket back home? He was still in the hospital when the team went home to Cincinnati. But that was #44. He went ALL OUT ALL THE TIME! While no one thought the Redlegs could beat Stewart even once, they beat him twice and ED's first inning bomb in game 1 set the tone. You were the best kid!

Not more talented, but definitely the better team. Best 3 relievers in the game that year and a solid rotation (rare for Cincinnati after the 70's), but outside of Larkin and Davis, no superstars. Just a very solid blue-collar team with an excellent manager.

It's amusing seeing this because according to John Mongani down there in the post the "better team" gets outscored 22-8 and swept in the World Series. And his proof is that the Reds "disappeared never to be seen again" and Oakland, ummm, well, that's their last World Series appearance as well. But I guess we'll forget that. :)

[@johnblaze8808]

Oakland was the better team and I don't think it's even debatable, the Reds just outplayed them. Other than R. Henderson no one showed up offensively for the A's. Stewart was shaky in game 1 but excellent in game 4 (9 IP 0 ER), Welch was very good in game 2 (after giving up 2 runs in the 1st shut the Reds down to the 8th until Canseco played Hatcher's flyball into a 3B).Cincinnati just played better, got contributions from more players (E. Davis, Hatcher, Sabo, Larkin) and Rijo and the bullpen (Myers, Dibble & Charlton) were excellent.

[@broaderrange5870]

Sorry, but the A's power hitters were exposed as steroid abusers. The team was full of prima donnas. Canseco and McGwire were frauds. Henderson and Lansford were great (but Ricky was another diva). The Reds had better players and a better team.
