The Cincinnati Reds Movies

One of the more infamous of the underdog World Series, the 1990 World Series pitted the underdog Cincinnati Reds against the Oakland A's ~ All Movie Guide

The New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds really gave their fans a series to remember after playing these games during this country's bicentennial year. Newly refurbished Yankee Stadium played host to such great players during this series as Cincinnati's Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench (both Hall of Famers), Pete Rose, Dave Concepcion, and Ken Griffey. The Yankees were eager to challenge these men with such players as Thurman Munson, Dock Ellis, and Willie Randolph. Billy Martin was on hand as the Yankee's outspoken manager, constantly trying to motivate his team to play their best. In the end, the Reds triumphed, though the Yankees made it clear that they would always be a strong force to be reckoned with.

Follow two well-matched teams as they play in the highest contest in baseball during this highlight video on the 1972 World Series between the Oakland A's and the Cincinnati Reds. Taking all seven games to finally determine a champion, six of the seven games were dramatically close with the winner leading by one run. For the A's, the Series was potentially doomed from the start after star Reggie Jackson was pulled from the lineup as a result of a hamstring injury during the American League Championship Series. Gene Tenace filled Jackson's shoes nicely, hitting four home runs in the Series, including two at his first two at bats in Game One, and becoming MVP of the Series. Even though the Reds had the power of Joe Morgan and Pete Rose, they could not achieve victory against the likes of the A's and their stars Joe Rudi, Gene Tenace, and pitcher Catfish Hunter. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, All Movie Guide
