This Date in Reds History: October 20th

Im sure some Reds fans know exactly what happened on October 20th of 1990.  But others may not know what happened on this important day in Reds history.  Lets just start with Jose Rijo was on the pitching mound for the second time in four days, and almost pitched a complete game on October 20th.  So why is October 20th so important for Reds history? Well, it was game 4 of the 1990 World Series, in which the Reds were underdogs going in to the start of the World Series, and they managed to pull off a 4 game sweep of the Oakland A’s.  All in all, there are a few reasons I bring up Game 4 in 1990: 1) it was the last time the Reds one a world series, 2) it was the last time Cincinnati had a championship team, and 3) will this important day in Reds history translate into another happy day in Cincinnati by the Bengals finally winning the first game in 2019?
