I don't care what anybody thinks.. Eric Davis was one of the absolute greatest players talent wise to ever touch a baseball... and he brought Cinncinati a ring.. if you actually watched him play, you'd get it ⚾
i was 13, french Canadian hockey player who loved playing baseball during summer. The Reds were my favorite team. That summer was amazing. And Bobby Bonilla is still getting paid as of today.
I’m a Cincy Fan from the 60s to today and I watched every minute of the playoffs and the World Series and I remember how the Big Media portrayed the Sweep as an accidental thing. The A’s were loaded with big name talent and the Series was supposed to be a lopsided affair for the A’s. The Reds won every type of game; the close games the blowouts and even the extra Inning games. 🤷🏻♂️
Those throws from the outfield, first by O'Neill, an vastly underrated right fielder, to gun down Van Slyke and Davis brilliantly backing up Hatcher and making a perfect one hop throw to nail Bonilla were likely the key plays of the series. Add the Glenn Braggs home run robbery of Carmelo Martinez in game 6 that most fans didnt realize the importance of until they saw the replay. That was fuel for the Reds to win it all that year.
I was coming off the field in Murfreesboro, TN at the Contest Of Champions when they announced over the intercom that the Cincinnati Reds had just swept the Oakland Athletics for the 1990 World Series Championship. My marching band (Harrison County High School out of Cynthiana, KY) had just performed in finals and had a well executed show so it was a fantastic night for this Reds fan.
That team was so much better than today's baseball people will say. They finished second four out of the five previous seasons, with the Pete Rose suspension year being the only exception. They were loaded with talent and cruised to the division win early in the season. They were actually a much better team than the A's. Jose Rijo was the best pitcher in baseball for several years, according to Elias sports. Speed everywhere, defense everywhere, power throughout the lineup, and an unbelievable bullpen.
Thanks for posting this, and thanks to YT for bringing it to my attention. I was at Game 2 after having enjoyed the Reds' romp against Pittsburgh while on vacation in Hawaii. What a year!
And the current holder of the longest World Series winning streak as of March 2022: The Cincinnati Reds. (1975 game 7, 1976 4 games, and 1990 4 games, totalling 9.)
Its been 33yrs but I was able to keep my secret through 3 kids and almost 20yrs before I eventually confessed. lol My gf (wife now) decided to "surprise me" with a high end dinner and over night stay at a deluxe resort for our bf/gf "anniversary." She just showed up at my place, handed me my now dry cleaned suit, and said "Let's go! Our reservation is in an hr and then you're mine for the rest of the night." An awesome gesture on her part but having not fully trained her yet....I was in a panic. The date was Oct 20th 1990....same night as Game 4 of the '90 World Series with my beloved Reds on the verge of the ship! SMDH. lol WTF am I gonna do? I cant say no or rain check (even though I wanted to) so I go, do my duty, dinner, dancing, the works.....we had a blast....except I know she's a total lightweight and I made sure the drinks kept coming under the guise of "we're celebrating." lol Get back to the room and she's either gonna destroy me or pass out. I was prepared for either one. She passes out. Its 1am. Pour her into the bed, lock the hotel door, sprint to my car, and race back to my apartment in town to watch the game I have taped on my VCR. Turbo watch the game fast forwarding in between pitches, celebrate our win, get back in my car, race back to the resort, get into bed with her and wake up to her apologizing to me profusely for drinking too much and "ruining our night." She had no clue I left. I just kept saying "You're crazy, baby. It was perfect. You are perfect. A Great night I'll never forget. Ever!!" lol lol
ERIC! I've never been happier to see a team win & a team lose! Davis was always so humble & Stewart was so arrogant saying they were the better team even though they lost - it truly was Davis Stuns Goliath!!! Davis may never make the HOF thru the veteran's committee but he was the GREATEST all-around talent to play the game, he had nearly 50 HR & 100 SB from June 1986-June 1987 - UNREAL! Health issues took about half his career away, but dang, when he did play! WOWZA! 7 20/20 SEASONS!
He doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, just didn't put up the numbers for long enough. But he was a lot of fun to watch! Now, if his spirit in Elly De La Cruz can learn to hit a curveball we could be looking at an Eric Davis all over again.
Definitely HOF Talent career cut short from injuries That 88 or 89 season He was having was going to be Historic before getting hurt and missing the 2nd half People look at the #'s & do not realize he barely plaid half a season because He put up MVP numbers for a full season in just half a season . Eric Davis was The Best All Around Player in The Game until rupturing His kidneys in Game 4 of The 1990 World Series His injuries just caught up to Him and He could not ever put in a full season What a Ball Player though . If not for how amazing Rijo was for Us REDS then DAVIS would have been WS MVP and Co-MVP would have been fitting in this case . Man... & Rijo ... Eww Wee .. Talk about an underrated & forgotten SP He gave everything He had athletically to Cincinnati .
Everyone remembers the "start to finish" first place Reds from 1990 but what people forget is that they did not have a good second half of the season, going just 32-38 from just after the All-Star break and 50-50 in their last 100 games. Their lead dropped from 11 games to 3 games at one point and they finished with the same record as the second-place Mets in the NL East. I don't think they were overlooked in the postseason so much as they hadn't played great since June. In October, they played the way they did in April and May.
i was 9 in 86 when i went to my first reds game at river front stadium from a young kids experience that stadium was loud when the reds were in the world series in 90 me at 13 i thought this is one of the greatest moments as a kid watching all four games on tv
Davis was best as a CF but he could play any of the outfield positions. They put Davis at LF here in order to get Billie Hatchers hot bat into the lineup.
I was there for games 1 and 2 of both the NLCS and WS. What an experience. The Red's played the tightest baseball imaginable that October. No mistakes and many stellar plays on defense.
They could no longer afford him, it was simply a money issue. In those days the Reds traded guys with one year left before UFA for guys with more control.
I can't believe it has been 32 years. It seems like yesterday. The 1990 Reds could do no wrong; they were a juggernaut. In first place wire to wire; nobody could touch them.
Get real. They were heavy underdogs vs. Oakland. The A's were more memorable for choking in that series just like they did in '88 vs. L.A. Nobody outside of Cincinnati, who isn't a hard-core baseball fan, remembers that Reds team. They had some good players like Larkin, Davis, and O'Neil, but they were no "juggernaut." That's why they couldn't sustain any success beyond that season.
@@NatTurnerswitBurnerzAll the media outlets and oddsmakers underestimated or did not understand a team that was ahead of its time. The Reds had five players that year on the Al-Star Roster. Three of those all Stars were Pitchers, and Jose Rijo who was the WS MVP wasn’t on the All-Star team. The A’s only batted .207 against the Reds. The Reds pitching was untouchable. The A’s didn’t choke, it was a four game sweep, and complete domination. Lou Pinella revolutionized baseball with his bullpen strategy. Watch the analysts on ESPN or MLB Network talk about shortening the game to six innings and how important that is in winning. The Reds were doing it 33 years ago. The Reds had one of the best if not the best bullpen performances of all time in a World Series, with a .58 RA over 31 1/3 innings pitched. Finally, the Reds may have not been a juggernaut, but they won more World Series than the A’s did in the 90’s 😉
That team was so much better than today's baseball people will say. They finished second four out of the five previous seasons, with the Pete Rose suspension year being the only exception.

Jose Rijo was the best pitcher in baseball for several years, according to Elias sports. Speed everywhere, defense everywhere, power throughout the lineup, and an unbelievable bullpen.
I was at the game when the reds won the NL championship. When Martinez hit the ball at 5:40 the whole stadium held its breath. When Braggs reached above the wall and caught it the place went crazy. We knew the reds were going to win that game and had the momentum to beat Oakland.
NOTHING BETTER FROM THAT SEASON OTHER THAN THE FINAL OUT! It was surreal, but not unexpected by Reds fans, the A's Dave Stewart whined for years about how they were better... yeah, whatever Dave... (SWEEEEEEEEEP!!!!)
Larkin would become a team cancer at the end of his career. Davis would have his career shortened due to injuries. Bonds would become one of the biggest cheaters in the game.
9:22 you never see Eric Davis in complication videos of strangest or most unique batting stances which is a shame. I like his swing. Very smooth yet the ball seems to explode off the bat. Reminds me a bit of Jay Buhner or Mickey Teneltton the way he positions the bat or the angle he positions the bat prior to the pitch
Weird to look back at these. Playing the infield on Astroturf must’ve been a nightmare With how fast those ground balls move. And I think the balls must be juice now the highlight in game three were Sabo hits the homerun with how fast it came off the bat I thought it would be halfway up to the seats instead it just barely clears the fence.
What A Squad in 1990 Eric Davis , Pual O'Neil, Barry Larkin , Chris Sabo , Mariano Duncan very underrated MLBP , Billy Hatcher ( I saw Billy get out of a pickle at My 1st ever MLB Game in LA Vs My Reds but Davis was now on LA with Straw 33/44 . Pickle was between 1B 2B , pretty slick . Billy was fast) , Glenn Brags , of course Joe Oliver was not the best hitter but played MLB level Defense, called a good game and was a very BIG PART of this REDS team that was very good 88-91 but only 2 teams from each League made the playoffs , *How could I forget 1B Hal Morris* ?! Slowest Man on earth (other than The Mayor Sean Casey also REDS 1B) but MAN could He (They) RAKE . Morris LH-H/T 1B Batted .317 His prime 4-5 years & .340 1990 Rookie *** R-Jose Rijo (WS MVP) , L-Tom Browning , R-Jack Armstrong ( Great name for a Pitcher) & The Nasty Boys ... 😏 3 Closers 7th 8th & 9th Done Son L- Norm Charlton , R- Rob Dibble , L- Randy Myers Ya Done Son 😏 That's a squad and they had the perfect Mix with all around including the here unnamed fill ins Cincinnati REDS 1990 WORLD SERIES CHAMPiON'S ! 🏆 The Future currently looks very bright 💪
I say this as a lifelong 42 year old Reds fan and huge admirer of Paul O'Neill (2nd worst trade IN Reds history, after Frank Robinson)... It was an amazing throw, but I think Van Slyke beats that tag
The scene could not have been staged more perfectly. The A's were highly favored in the series. The Reds were supposed to be no competition for the "Bash Brothers". Stewart had that "demonic stare" and dark, heavy facial hair. Eric Davis steps up, clean shaven (Reds rule) clean cut, popping bubble gum like a little league kid and jacks one to dead center field on the first pitch. It sent the message that the Reds were not intimidated and were there to win! I knew one thing for sure ....for at least 2 games, the A's were going to have to deal with Jose' Rijo and the Nasty Boys bullpen. No way was it going to be an A's sweep as the media tried to sell it. Never in my wildest dreams, however, would I have dreamed it would be a Reds sweep. Amazing season. Oh for the Reds to win another one.
True, but Pete never won anything with them. They always fell apart on road trips to the team that ended up winning the division those years. I remember them laying big eggs on road trips to SF, LA & Houston consistently when Pete managed them. Very disappointing seasons. They finished 2nd like 4 or 5 years in a row, then fell apart after Pete was suspended in 89.
@@italianwaterice9594 And? I watched that Reds team the whole year in 1990. They were stacked with talent. The Reds had the best bullpen (by far) and the hottest bat's in the league when it counted. The A's had no serious competition in the AL. They were soft and it showed in the WS.
That bullpen,they shortened games so much that if you didn’t have a lead after 5 innings you were in trouble. Even if you did have a lead after 5 innings you better hope the bats don’t get hot and crushes a bomb.
The graphics keep identifying this as NLDS. In 1990 there was no NLDS. This is the NLCS, National League Championship Series. Come on Mr. Nick Kirby, get it right.
I don't care what anybody thinks.. Eric Davis was one of the absolute greatest players talent wise to ever touch a baseball... and he brought Cinncinati a ring.. if you actually watched him play, you'd get it ⚾
@elbob17 I still got that dude's jersey and wear it 😎 ..It has the 1990 World Series Champs patch sewn on the shoulder!
I used Imitate him when my bro an I play ball Vs each other 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You're preaching to the choir. I'm a Red sox at 39 years old and I even knew that.
Absolutely spot on
he should be in baseball's hof.
i was 13, french Canadian hockey player who loved playing baseball during summer. The Reds were my favorite team. That summer was amazing. And Bobby Bonilla is still getting paid as of today.

Yesm! Great message! I've been a fan since the 70's from South Louisiana.
Davis absolutely crushed that pitch.
Those throws from the outfield, first by O'Neill, an vastly underrated right fielder, to gun down Van Slyke and Davis brilliantly backing up Hatcher and making a perfect one hop throw to nail Bonilla were likely the key plays of the series. Add the Glenn Braggs home run robbery of Carmelo Martinez in game 6 that most fans didnt realize the importance of until they saw the replay. That was fuel for the Reds to win it all that year.
On the Davis throw the umpire put his fist right in Bonillas face on the out call.😂
Eric Davis’s batting stance is so casual.

Glad you put Marty as the voice on the clincher. I met him a few years ago. Such a good dude. #ATOBTTR
Those first two outfield throws. And that's how you win the World Series. Wow.
That Reds team had some great defense. They caught lightning in a bottle that year.

@@jwsaberfan7793
Rose built that team.
I was at game 1 and game 2 in the last row of the upper deck. Still by far the best baseball experience of my life.
My Grandparents, LONG time Reds fans, were at both. Grandma told me it was like nothing they’d ever seen.
Thanks for posting this, and thanks to YT for bringing it to my attention. I was at Game 2 after having enjoyed the Reds' romp against Pittsburgh while on vacation in Hawaii. What a year!

yeah, but i wouldn't mind that streak being broken if we'd get another ws trophy in the process.
@@docadams7099I agree with that brother,bring on the hardware.
I think I still have my T-shirt we ordered not long after. "How Sweep It Is!" with photo of Rijo on the front.
man when Marty's voice came in on that last out I actually teared up a bit. I really miss Marty and Joe. They were the voices of summer and my youth

What a great team! This series is about 4 years after I started watching MLB, Reds fan for life!
Great video! Best year of my life!!! Go Reds!!!!
Loved the look on Oakland players faces in game 4. They looked defeated.
I thought they looked defeated in the Top of the 2nd in game one.
Well done! I'm enjoying this very much, thank you.
and thanks for adding Marty's call 🥺
O’Neil is more known for being a Yankee but he was a damn good Red. What were the Reds thinking trading him away?
They could no longer afford him, it was simply a money issue. In those days the Reds traded guys with one year left before UFA for guys with more control.
@@garycochrane4829ONeill was a better player in his Yankee years than in his Reds years.
The 90 Reds were such a well balanced team. So many guys had 20 hrs and could sub in and out!

ED was the man. No sure what was better, the throw on Bonilla in the NLCS, or the HR against Dave Stewart in the WS
My uncle gave me a billy bates bat and I never knew who he was from the reds, long time fan but I’m grateful
Eric Davis is my favorite player of all-time.
he was something else awesome player
When the topic of bad trades comes up I always bring up the Reds trading Paul for Roberto Kelly

Two of the most hot-headed players of their generation going at it. You don't see that often.

I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue.
Yes!
We didn’t need ANY Michael Bolton anything.
Lol to quote office space, that no talent ass clown Micheal bolton
You know, I'm a Michael Bolton FAN
That home run by Davis!
NOTHING BETTER FROM THAT SEASON OTHER THAN THE FINAL OUT! It was surreal, but not unexpected by Reds fans, the A's Dave Stewart whined for years about how they were better... yeah, whatever Dave... (SWEEEEEEEEEP!!!!)
Growing up I was such a huge Barry Larkin, Eric Davis, & Barry Bonds fan. 1990!
Larkin would become a team cancer at the end of his career. Davis would have his career shortened due to injuries. Bonds would become one of the biggest cheaters in the game.
The team Rose built!
What a fun season and fun team to watch
They really mowed m down. From the first out of the season till the final one of the World Series

That's a squad and they had the perfect Mix with all around including the here unnamed fill ins
Cincinnati REDS 1990 WORLD SERIES CHAMPiON'S ! 🏆
The Future currently looks very bright 💪
Should have had Marty and joes call the whole video
Great era for the game
Eric Davis!
I say this as a lifelong 42 year old Reds fan and huge admirer of Paul O'Neill (2nd worst trade IN Reds history, after Frank Robinson)... It was an amazing throw, but I think Van Slyke beats that tag

Amazing season. Oh for the Reds to win another one.
Eric the Red! Davis slays Goliath! Love the homerun off Stewart!
Wisht hey showed more of Hatcher's streak!!
great vid. Remove the music in the background and just run the video.
Everyone should have known by then about Oneal's great arm.
Why did you add the music?
Some of the original videos that I used for this had the music already on it. I did not add anything extra
That was NLCS Reds Pirates Game 6 not game 4.
might want to fix your transitions. There was no NLDS in 1990.
Man I wanna watch these highlights but the background music messes the sound all up. Why is there even background music?
it was on the original video.....
@ that’s unfortunate
great highlights, could do without the music in the background
Amen Joe Oliver's ball stayed fair, would NOT have wanted to force Tom Browning to lose the enjoyment of watching his child being born.
There was no division seris back in 1990.
The Paul O'Neill show
worlds championship? what other worlds are involved?
Sweet Lou...
Man I miss Jack Buck doing the postseason and World Series
Great video, BUT…the music seriously screws it up.
This team could have beat any Yankee team
You would think they would know not to test O'neill's arm.
Pete Rose built this team. Pinella took the wheel in 1990.
True, but Pete never won anything with them. They always fell apart on road trips to the team that ended up winning the division those years. I remember them laying big eggs on road trips to SF, LA & Houston consistently when Pete managed them. Very disappointing seasons. They finished 2nd like 4 or 5 years in a row, then fell apart after Pete was suspended in 89.
Had a friend of mine bet me that the A's would sweep the Reds, easy $50 for me.
Small knit picky thing. There was no ALDS or NLDS. It was straight to league championships in those days. Great video though.
00:32 Bonds power before he started the clear...
My favorite Reds uniform. Whoever did the 1993 uniform made me puke lol
Thank you to the Reds’ GM for trading Paul O’Neill to the Yanks for Roberto Kelly!
Worst trade in History
O’Neal for Kelly 🤨
Marge got greedy.
how about tony perez and will mcenaney for woodie fryman and dale murray? or frank robinson for milt pappas, jack baldschun and dick simpson?
Why add that lousy music soundtrack four the last game of the nl playoff
it was in the original video.......
ERIC the Red 👊🏼
NLDS? Huh? In 1990? NLCS!!!!!!
Did rose bet on any games of this series ? 🤯🤦🤔🙄🤷
Red's topped the A's in four straight games! 🔥🚀🤪💯
Imagine still believing that you are the better, team after getting swept...
Defense wins championships!!
What is that terrible music being badly played over the Reds/Pirates Game 6 highlights?
Holy crap,that was DEFINITELY a foul ball that won game two,WOW!!
that ball never hit the line landed foul!!
Even that 1st hop was hard too see
most fixed series ever
Fixed?
😂
@H0kieJoe yes 90 pct money was on Oakland and Reds swept them 4/0
@@italianwaterice9594 And? I watched that Reds team the whole year in 1990. They were stacked with talent. The Reds had the best bullpen (by far) and the hottest bat's in the league when it counted. The A's had no serious competition in the AL. They were soft and it showed in the WS.
@@H0kieJoe the big games are all rigged.. the Braves and/Dodgers forgot how to hit.. same script .
That bullpen,they shortened games so much that if you didn’t have a lead after 5 innings you were in trouble. Even if you did have a lead after 5 innings you better hope the bats don’t get hot and crushes a bomb.
How did they play one NLDS game 4 in Pittsburgh, and another one in Cincinnati?
nlcs game 4 and 5 were in pittsburgh, game 6 in cincy.
The graphics keep identifying this as NLDS. In 1990 there was no NLDS. This is the NLCS, National League Championship Series. Come on Mr. Nick Kirby, get it right.
The background music is so loud and distracting
