It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
yes but he was better than troy albania and bruce bosnia
Yea. Kosovo was a distant relative of Andy Kosco, he was brought in as a favor to play on the Cincinnati Stingers. Russian muscle for the WHA. Now Bernie was part of Austria-Hungary royalty and a great goal scorer for the Czech national team.
Kosco don’t call me Kosovo, who while a great power bat in 1973 had a bad back end his career at the end of 1974. His continued spot on the roster had me as perplexed as Carrying Miguel Cairo and Wilson Valdez in 2012. You could have done better by the time July rolled around when you realized this combo was not good enough to carry in the bench.
Bob and Sparky day on their hands just like Walt and Dusty did.
I like Phil Gaglianos second year with the reds I think 2 for 31 reminiscent of the epic Dallas Williams
THE reds liked collecting infielders from the cards ed crosby, kelly paris, neil fiala, julian javier
It has always bothered me that the Dodgers were named "first half champions" because they had played one more game than the Reds, which they won. They had only a ½-game lead over the Reds in the NL West. Both clubs had exactly the same number of losses.

It was thoroughly unfair especially because the loss column was equal

Was Frank Pastore pitching in that game? As a kid, I have this memory of listening to a game on the radio where Frank Pastore hit a home run, but the game was rained out and therefore didn't count. I don't remember what year it was (or if it really happened -- maybe my mind is playing tricks on me).

I went back into Retrosheet and looked. They have no record on rained out games. But it must have been rained out on May 26th. No Reds game that day which was a Tuesday. That was the 2nd game of a 4 game series withe Giants. Pastore pitched Monday,Soto on Wednesday and Price on Thursday. So it may have been Seaver who pitched that rained out game. If they had played through 5 then that would have put the Reds and Dodgers in a flat foot tie. I wonder what MLB would have done then? A one game playoff to start the 2nd half?

I found the game I was looking for on Retrosheet:
https://www.retrosheet.org/losthr.htm#
4/19/1981: Pitcher Frank Pastore of the Reds homered in the bottom of the third inning off the Cardinals' Silvio Martinez. There was no one on base and one out. The game was rained out.
I don't know if this game was made up before the strike, but if it wasn't then it could have cost the Reds a postseason appearance.

According to Retrosheet, George Foster hit a three run HR in the first inning of the game against the Giants on May 26.
5/26/1981: In a game against the Giants, George Foster of the Reds hit a home run off Tom Griffin in the first inning with two men on and no one out. The game was rained out.
