25 years ago last night and tonight
On October 16, 1990. My Dad and I went to Game 1 of the World Series. The Cincinnati Reds were hosting the defending champion Oakland Athletics.
Jose Rijo opposed Dave Stewart in Game 1. It was a great night and game. Eric Davis hit a two run home run in the 1st inning en route to 3 RBI on the night and Rijo pitched 7 innings of shut out baseball. The Reds won 7-0. I had so much fun being at the game with my Dad. I have the game on VHS, but have not watched it in quite some time. People would always ask me who would make every out in that game. If I was asked about that today, I would not know.
On October 17, 1990, the Reds hosted Game 2. It went to extra innings and the Reds were faced with a pitching dilema. Tom Browning, who started Game 3, left the ball park and him and his wife celebrated the birth of Tucker Thomas Browning. In the 10th inning, Joe Oliver delivered the game winning hit off Hall of Fame closer Dennis Eckersley.
On a family trip to Florida in 2007, I met Mr Oliver at the ESPN boardwalk and told him that he was one of my favorite Reds Catcher's I ever watched.
I've been to a NBA Finals, NFL Playoff, NLDS, One game playoff, Final Four, Sweet 16, Elite Eight and a Major League All Star game.
