Question about the 1990 Reds
I was just looking through some old schedules and box scores from past Reds teams on BaseballReference.com and I came across the 1990 schedule and I noticed the Reds opened that season up on the road in Houston (they won 8-4 in 11 innings). As we all know it's always been tradition for the Reds to open the season in Cincinnati. I looked it up and it was the first time since 1966 the Reds opened on the road. Does anyone know what the reason behind this was?

Consider that the 2007 Reds had a total of 70 wins, which the 1970 squad had reached by the end of July. |

Re: Question about the 1990 Reds
I remember Larkin tripling in the game winner on that first night.
Barry was unconscious that first month.
