I watched that from my dorm lobby when I was in college. Exciting times.

Which dorm?

Every time I see that I think of what a sad life Eric Show had in his later years. He was found dead from drugs/alcohol in a rehab facility at just 37 years of age. Also, the guy in left field was Carmelo Martinez. Show got into a shoving match with him in the dugout later that game over Carmelo not catching a ball that led to the winning run. Carmelo actually played for the Reds later on, maybe around '91.

Which dorm?

It was the new one at the time. I honestly don't remember the name of it. I was in Mahan the first semester I was there and this new one was completed and I was able to move into it.

Obviously there a big crowd to watch. After Rose got his hit almost everyone cleared out. I was the baseball junkie that stayed and watched the entire game.

He didn't look happy for Pete at all, he sat down during the celebration.

The tortured life of Eric Show. Really sad.

Top 1

Jonathan India lines out to center fielder Michael Siani. 1 out

Elly De La Cruz strikes out swinging. 2 outs

Tyler Stephenson strikes out swinging. 3 outs

Sonny should've struck out the side because the first to called balls to India were really strikes

He was the type of person who would not have liked giving up that hit to Pete. He was just a strange individual. IIRC he was a member of the John Birch Society. That might explain some things about him.

I was never a Rose fan as a kid. He would be my least favorite of the great 8. But as a teenager I was really excited when he returned to manage. Really got into him chasing the record. I thought he would be the Reds manager for 20-25 years and lead them to at least a couple championships. He made a fool out of me.

How would everyone feel about a Marte for Jordan Walker straight up trade?
Walker obviously isn't a good OFer. Not sure which if either team would win that trade.

Top 2

TJ Friedl flies out to right fielder Jordan Walker. 1 out

Spencer Steer strikes out swinging. 2 outs

Ty France grounds out, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to pitcher Sonny Gray. 3 outs

France got robbed. I'd really like to keep France and Espinal. But with injured players returning. I just don't see how they fit. Unless someone is traded. Especially France. The Reds have a lot of 1b/DH already.
