Billy Hatcher traded to the Reds late in 1989. The final hurrah for many of the 1986 Astros great team. Mike Scott’s last full season. Last years on Houston for Glenn Davis and Bill Doran too!
Hatcher was actually traded to the Reds right before the 1990 season began from the Pirates. The Pirates got him from the Astros late in the 1989 season.
Can you post any more games from the 1990 season? I think it would be cool if there could be a way to marathon these games from one of the greatest seasons ever!
Apparently Lou Pinella found an ingenious way to manage major lea-egos. "Barry Larkin, I'm starting you at shortstop. Mariano Duncan, I'm starting you at shortstop too, just kind of cover the area between 1st and 2nd base but as a shortstop." 0:20
1990 would turn out to be a changing of the guard for the Stros. The last of the 86 team would hand the torch to the Killer B's. Mike Scott would retire the next year after arm surgery. Bill Doran would be later traded to this Reds team, setting the stage for Biggio's move to 2nd. In another trade deadline deal, Larry Andersen would be dealt to the Red Sox for an infielder named Jeff Bagwell. In the off-season, the remnants of the 80 and 86 division winners Terry Puhl and Dave Smith signed elsewhere. Others were released. Lastly, Glenn Davis was moved to Baltimore for Pete Harnisch, Curt Schilling, and Steve Finley. With Caminiti and Biggio left, the Killer B era would start.
Seeing Myers back in 1990 with longer hair and no mustache like he previously had with the Mets. Reds had a “no facial hair” policy by Marge Schott back then.
achmeineye the season was delayed due to a strike. The earlier season games were rescheduled to other dates. As a result the season started on the road.
1990 Reds are my favorite baseball team of all time.
hatcher, davis & Big O'Neill in the outfield
oliver, sabo, larkin, duncan & morris in the infield
what was the regular lineup in 1990
And that team led them to sweep defending champion Oakland for the title.
Between 1989 & 1991, the Astrodome had no out-of-town scoreboard. 1992 saw the first manually-operated one take place.
That Reds team was awesome!
that had to be a great season to watch barry larkin, chirs sabo, Big O'Neill, eric davis,
The Reds were already showing what a great team they had in the first game of the season....
Astros played them tough though.
Mike Scott was a legend!
Nobody cheated better than him - I mean nobody had a natural movement on their pitches than him.
Loved those Astros uniforms. And look at Biggio catching
What a great game. Thanks for posting that.
The last time the Reds did not open at home.

wow, watching this game makes me grateful I wasn't subject to the Astros announce team on a nightly basis.

Gosh I guess I had forgotten about the Glenn Davis trade. What a colossal blunder for Baltimore.
Thanks for posting this great to watch a regular game from my youth.

Home Sports Entertainment. The best team on TV. H-S-E!
The Reds ended up WORLD CHAMPIONS.
And they never vacated first place from that point on.
Why didn't the Reds play at home for this Opening Day? The announcers pointed it out but they didn't explain why they weren't at home

Right. More precisely, a lockout. Spring Training was very abbreviated that year also.
@@1981lashlarue I totally forgot about that. Thanks for clarifying that is was a lockout and not a strike. Big difference.
@@jamestepera3356 Yep. It was an unusual season in many ways.
Damn! I thought the Reds always opened at home?
In 1990, opening day was pushed back by one week due to a lockout, which had ruined most of spring training.
miss the old stadiums. I think?
The Astrodome is one that I actually don't miss. Watching a game there was a cure for insomnia.
Good game!

Oh yeah - not a home opener for Reds.
Did you hear all that banging noise going on?
Thugs in spikes, the 1990 Reds
Call'em whatever you want...just call'em WORLD CHAMPIONS. WIRE TO WIRE...
