I was there several years ago when Jay Bruce homered 3 times. Hell of an experience.

I was also at that game in which Wilson took out Oester; as I see it in my head he didn't even start his slide till he was at the bag. Is that right?

I've had a bunch of memorable Reds home games:
Johnny Bench night
Pete Rose hit 4192
Larkin hit 2 HR (went on to hit 3HR the next game, for 5HR total in 2 games)
In 2003, (now ex-)wife and I got Diamond Club seats; saw Josh Hall make his debut, Barry Bonds hit a HR, and the Reds win
The aforementioned Votto walk-off on Pete Rose Night (Sept. 11), 2010

2008 against the Indians. To the dismay of the large group of obnoxious Indian fans sitting right in front of my group of friends/Reds fans, Adam Dunn hit a walk off 3 run HR. Good times!

I haven't gotten to see many games in Cincy, but the most significant moment I was present for was Bench hitting his 313th home run on July 12, 1980 to tie Yogi for most all-time by an MLB catcher. He'd go on to pass Yogi 4 days later and of course has since been passed himself by Piazza and Fisk.

April 9, 1988
Kal Daniels hit two solo home runs and then walked it off in the ninth against Dave Smith with a two-run single (which was actually a gap shot to the wall, but he stopped at first).
