I was surprised this Reds team could score nine runs in a game. Then I saw who was pitchng for the Padres.

Funny, the only two postion players still with the Reds a year later were Taubensee and Reese.

Was that the year Pokey Reese booted three balls?

Willie Greene goes deep! A star in the making.

Chris Stynes played for the Reds through 2000.

Right year, but wrong game. This was Game 2 of the 1998 season. Pokey committed four errors on Opening Day, March 31.

People paid money to watch the Reds that year.

Interesting.

1998 was the year I finally came back from the 1994 strike, and went to a ball game again. I wasn't able to get to Riverfront that year, but I was able to catch the Reds twice on the road--once at Comiskey Park vs. the White Sox, and once at Three Rivers Stadium vs. the Pirates.
