Roy reaches back into the cobwebs of his brain...

One of the games in this series was the first Reds game I went to. I know it was in July and I know it was the Mets and I know they lost. I'm pretty sure there was a rain delay either starting the game or in it.

Wow! 18 games over .500 and they were still 5.5 games behind the Dodgers. Just shows you what a great start the Dodgers had and the Reds had to play come from behind all season.
