I used to love this show as a kid and I remember well getting up in the morning, watching it, then grabbing my glove and bat and running to the school yard to meet friends and try implementing what I learned on the show.

Ironically, Tony Perez was one of the National Leagues Premier Home Run Hitters The Reds had Lee May and Johnny Bench and Pete Rose and too. Ironically it was 1966 or 67 when I started following the Cincinnati Reds. My Uncle George Fisher owned the Staten Island Dry Cleaners and had a contract with the Yankees and Mets to Dry Clean their Uniforms. I was born in the Bronx New York but I moved to Cincinnati Ohio when I was five years old and quickly became a Cincinnati, Red, Royals and Bengals too!
This was a fun team to watch man! Walton won ROY, they won the division, Ryno, Andre, a young Mark Grace! Coached by Zimmer…..this was the team I grew up with!
1982 - 1994 the voice of the late mark holtz and eric nadel together as the radio broadcast of mlb's texas rangers here in north texas the dallas fort worth area.
I remember watching this on TV when I was 13 years old. Never forgot the dramatic ending of Pete Rose barrelling over Ray Fosse to score the winning run
Around about the 7:00 minute mark when they showed the clip of a washed up bill Lee lamenting the interview Bench gave from the dugout during the rain delay is when I finally received a definitive confirmation as to why everybody called him spaceman ; I mean you have to be unbelievably delusional to muster the balls to say something that fucking pathetic with a straight face
I bet a lot of people don’t really understand why Johnny bench was so incredulous reflecting on Louie Tiant Jr.’s performance against them , but to put into perspective just how amazing he was , imagine a guy like Nestor “ the molester “ Cortes winning 229 games after 19 seasons in the league . What a legendary story and athlete his father left behind as his legacy
This mlb all star game and some player's dirty like Pete rose did !! He tackled a catcher in order to score by knocking the ball out of his hands ! Pete Rose knows why he never made it into the hall of fame and it wasn't illegal gambling !!!
So cool to see basically the same team from 87 but a year prior. What a lineup. Crazy how us winning the World Series just blindsided most of us, made me a huge fan for life.
I wish these episodes were available complete on DVD. Such a treat to see after all these years! My ten year old self use to watch this on Saturday mornings, then walk down the park and play. Thank you so VERY much
Thanks to Mel and his son Kevin Steiner I was invited into the dugout for this game. Sat between Tommy Lasorda and Steve Garvey…..wow what an experience! Actually met almost all of these guys!
