Not live. On TV? Every game of the playoffs in 1970, 72, 73, 75, 76, and 79. My favorite game was game 7, not game 6, of the 1975 World Series.

Watching the Reds win the series (on TV) in 1990 vs. Oakland and being sad because my Dad & I wouldn't be able to use our two tickets to Game Six.

I've been very lucky. Went to game 1 and 6 of the 72 World Series. Was a couple of rows away from Johnny Bench's home run in game 6. Was also at game 2 in 1990. That was nice cause I was legal and could fully celebrate the event !

Game 1 1973 against the Mets. Reds beat Tom Seaver and Johnny Bench hit a home run. We thought, here we go to the World Series again but the Mets won in 5 or 6 that year.

Losing to the Mets... Sadly, that's all I remember. I hope it changes this year.

Game 5 - 1972 National League Championship Series against Pittsburgh. The best of 5 series was tied 2-2. My dad came through the door from work just as Johnny Bench tied the game with a 9th inning home run. We busted back to the car and were dropped off at Riverfront. Made it to the ticket window line (no sales before the Reds qualified) about 30 seconds before the wild pitch that allowed the winning run to score. I'll never forget the stampede of fans dashing down the ramps from the red seats to get in the line that went from about 30 people to thousands in a matter of minutes. The funny thing is (which I had never considered until just now) I don't remember a thing about games 1 and 2 against Oakland that we attended, but can remember every detail of running to the car with my dad and racing through the streets of Covington (we even ran a red light) to get in line before the game ended.

I was setting about 10 seats over from were Big Pops Willie Stargell hit his Homerun to beat the Reds in 1979 ; I still remember how heartbroken I was all the way home but I also remember how freaking cold it was that October night . But the best part of it was that I watched it with my dad ,the Reds may have lost but they can't take my memory away of being there with my father and how great that I thought it was that I was there at the ripe old age of 11. Actually my father and I just talked about that game today and how cold it was that night .

I remember my dad having to go outside, because he was too nervous to watch, during the bottom of the 9th inning of game 7 in 1975. If they get to game seven this year and have the lead I will spend the 9th inning outdoors. It worked for him. :idunno:
