Baseball of the 1970s was fantastic. What a fun time to be a kid. The 80s -- in general -- was gold. I have this album in my collection from when it first came out:

With the Orioles going to The Series in ‘69 - ‘70 - and ‘71 we got rather spoiled as Baltimore fans. They didn’t even lose a playoff game in those three postseasons, beating Minnesota twice and Oakland (the As being the rising team that would win three consecutive championships ‘72 - ‘73 - ‘74), all sweeps. Yes it was a great decade for baseball, with an epic Series in 1975 and then the rise of the Yankees in the latter part of the decade and all the soap opera accompanying that.

What a blast from the past that cartoon is! I remember the morning I first saw it. I always went straight to the sports page to read about the Reds before I folded and delivered those Cincinnati Enquirers. Thanks again.

ALSO on this day in baseball history, 1971, the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Baltimore Orioles in game 7 to become World Champs in the first WS game played at night. Can you name the series MVP?

The Reds were a great team and Sparky Anderson was a class person as evidenced by his appearance at the end of the Brooks video on the link.
