This is some good vintage 1970 Reds footage from a game at Riverfront I found on Youtube. This guy had filmed Mel Behneys debut with the Reds on an old camera and had it converted to VHS to Youtube. Some good scenes of the old Riverfront scoreboard and up close shots of some of the 1970 Reds players and coaches. Watch the end, Rose really takes out the SS on the last play of the game.

Man, Bench really went after the Phillies player turning that double play. Thanks for posting!
Here's the box score which may help folks identify some of the players:

great stuff, thanks for posting.
rare footage in there of Perez and Hal McRae both playing 3B, and Lee May at the dish for the Reds.
And it's always fun to see a young Bench and Rose.
