Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum

You know, if he's on the run.

Rockies or the Reds next year you know that would not surprise me at all if he's a you know maybe like a Kansas City Royal or something like that next season like these are the kind of teams that I think would would be taking a chance on a guy like Mountcastle to rebuild his value and I think he'll just have a better opportunity both money and playing time wise elsewhere and the O's just don't have space for I think they're gonna decline this option Last kind of big decision that needs to be made, again, for the Orioles by Monday at 5 p.m. is the qualifying offer.

They have to decide which of their impending free agents they're giving the qualifying offer to.

They have four guys hitting free agency now, like straight-up free agency.

Question for you.

Is it better for them to have made the playoffs and lost in the first round or not? Like my team, the Reds, not even made the playoffs at all.

What would you prefer?

I think every playoffs is special.

However, they've gotten a break.

The Cincinnati Reds have been beating the New York Mets.

A change on the ball club in the bullpen, Randy St. Clair, right-hander who features a fork ball.

Left-handed starter Joe Hesketh is on the disabled list.

We've

all been waiting for a Met losing streak.

They've lost three in a row to the Cincinnati Reds, and, uh, by golly, a big win tonight would really help.

Well, we gotta make a little bit of hay now.

Two on, and a breaking ball for a strike.

The Reds are playing at candlestick, and the Giants break on top, one to nothing after an inning.

Two on, and one out in the fourth inning.

The middle of diving.

Ball one.

They play two and a half at candlestick.

The Giants lead the Reds one to nothing.

Here at Wrigley in the finale of a four-game series, Cubs in front, six to five on a Jody Davis homer.

Last night in Cincinnati, baseball history was made the 14th perfect game ever thrown.

Tom Browning of the Reds retired all 27 Dodgers he faced.

He struck out seven, including Kirk Gibson, who got tossed for arguing the call.

Here's the only run of the game in the sixth.

Pinch hitter Tracy Woodson struck out by Browning.

Sandy Koufax pitched the last National League nine-inning perfect game 23 years ago.

A Reds pitcher had never thrown one.

16,000 fans went through the turnstiles in Cincinnati, but there was a two-and-a-half-hour rain delay before the game began.

Two on and a breaking ball for a strike.

The Reds are playing at candlestick and the Giants break on top one to nothing after an inning.

Two on and one out in the fourth inning.

The middle of diving.

Ball one.

They play two and a half at candlestick.

The Giants lead the Reds one to nothing.

Here at Wrigley in the finale of a four-game series, Cubs in front, six to five on a Jody Davis homer.

At the end of four and a half innings, the White Sox 3, the Red Sox 1.

In the big game of the National League, Pittsburgh attention at his friend, pitching for the Pirates, so 2 for the Reds.

It's no score at the end of 3.

But I know that it's been a long time with the third inning in since we've had the half-inning score for the fourth.

Off Howard's right hand, I think, wasn't it? No, it was off of his mask.

And I thought for a second that Alley was going to look at his right hand, but no, he smacked that mask off.

The Reds came up with seven runs in the fourth inning to go ahead 7-0.

King freezed it home with two overs.

Has there ever been anybody quite like Pete Rose? Here's a 37-year-old rookie.

He's been the heart and soul of the Cincinnati Reds for so very long, and now at a very high price tag after an enormous bidding war, he winds up in Philadelphia.

What does he figure to give Philadelphia? Besides a steady clause at first base, perhaps a 300th season, he gives them what the players like to call intangibles.

With his hustle, it rubs off, and since he's been there before, he hopes to get the Phillies down that final mile.

Well, spring is a time of transition, and such it is in the life of Pete Rose.

A new uniform and a new position.

Well, first of all, Dick, I'm very happy to be a Philly because I went from one winning organization of Cincinnati Reds to a tremendous organization run by Rulie Carpenter and Paul Owens of Philadelphia Phillies.

And I'm just happy and I hope I can help this ball club get to the National League playoffs and perhaps a World Series.
