1976. Playoffs.Trailing, 6-4, in the bottom of the ninth, the Reds took Game 3 by putting together a three-run rally highlighted by back-to-back homers from Foster and Bench to advance to the World Series, where they swept the Yankees in four.
My Dad and I were there. Riverfront stadium. Tickets were in the last couple of rows in centerfield, BEHIND the scoreboard. But it didn't matter. Wonderful memories!
Best moment from a game I went to was probably Bailey's major league debut against the Indians. It was my last summer before college, went with like 10 of my friends from high school. He only pitched 5 innings, but he got the win.

Favorite: My first Reds game. 1995; 8 years old vs. the Astros. Ron Gant hit a grand slam and Barry Larkin hit a home run. Still have the game program from that game too. Man, I miss Cinergy.
Biggest Regret: Skipping the Jay Bruce clincher in 2010. Was convinced I was going but then looked at the forecast.
Last year i came home for leave in july while the tribe was in town. Watching Chapman throw a 102 mph fastball from behind home plate was pretty amazing
