On October 16th, 1990 Cincinnati Red CF Eric Davis bashed a bottom of the 1st two run Homer off Oakland A’s Ace Dave’ Smoke’ Stewart. ‘Eric the Red’ became just the 22nd player in MLB history to hit a HR in their first World Series at bat. The Reds would win Game One 7-0 and eventually go on to sweep the A’s. Did you know this was the 2nd World Series in a row that ended in a sweep.? Oakland had actually swept the San Francisco Giants the year prior. 1990 is the last time either the Reds or Athletics have appeared in the World Series.
