Game Thread: 1990 Reds at 1975 Reds — Game One

Welcome to Game One of the Inaugural Redleg Nation Dream Series. Tonight, the 1975 World Champion “Big Red Machine” Cincinnati Reds will be facing the 1990 World Champion “Wire to Wire” Cincinnati Reds in the first game of a “dream” seven-game series. The games are to be played out at Redleg Nation World Headquarters, i.e., my living room, using the Strat-O-Matic board game. The 1975 Reds won a coin-toss, so they will be the home team, hosting Game One at 1975 Riverfront Stadium. Starting lineups are below (the actual starting lineups these teams used in their own game ones in 1990 and 1975). I will be posting updates as I get time to play the game out tonight (around the childrens’ bathtimes and bedtimes).
