Wire to Wire Reds: Sweet Lou, Nasty Boys, and the Wild Run to a World Championship

The 1990 Cincinnati Reds stunned the baseball world by winning the National League pennant and then sweeping the heavily favored Oakland A’s in the World Series. Lou’s boys held first place from start to finish – becoming one of only three wire-to-wire champions in major league history.
