The Oakland Athletics were defending champions, two-time defending American League champions and favorites against the Reds. Their lineup consisted of three former AL Rookies-of-the-Year: Jose Canseco (1986), Mark McGwire (1987) and Walt Weiss (1989). Behind starter Dave Stewart and reliever Dennis Eckersley, the A's had won 306 games over the prior three seasons. But the strength of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen and timely hitting led them to quick sweep of the AL champions. The three primary members of the bullpen; Norm Charlton, Randy Myers, and Rob Dibble were known as the "Nasty Boys" - and wouldn't let the A's score against them in nearly nine innings of work. Media talk of a forthcoming A's dynasty led Reds fans to call their own team the "dyNASTY."

The Reds got out of the gate quickly with a two run blast from Eric Davis in the bottom of the 1st off A's ace Dave Stewart. Billy Hatcher helped out offensively in a big way by starting his streak of 7 straight hits in the series (after a walk in the 1st). Jose Rijo settled in after the early lead and cruised to a surprise Cincinnati victory.

Eventual Cy Young award winner Bob Welch opposed postseason veteran Danny Jackson in Game 2. Rickey Henderson manufactured a run for the A's in the 1st by getting a hit, stealing second, getting sacrificed to third, and scoring on a groundout. The Reds came right back in the bottom of the first. Barry Larkin and Billy Hatcher hit consecutive opposite field doubles and Hatcher would score on Davis's groundout.

In the third the A's got the lead back. José Canseco hit a rocket into the right-center field stands to tie the game (his only hit of the series). A base hit by Mark McGwire and two walks followed, knocking Jackson out of the game. With the bases loaded, Ron Hassey hit a sac fly and Mike Gallego singled to center to give the A's a 4-2 lead.


The A's, however, would not score anymore runs thanks to the relief pitching of All-Star game starter Jack Armstrong and the threesome nicknamed the "Nasty Boys" which included Rob Dibble, Norm Charlton, and Randy Myers.


The Reds got a run closer at 4-3 run on pinch hitter Ron Oester's RBI single that drove in Joe Oliver in the 4th. The Reds tied it in the 8th when Hatcher tripled over the crippled Canseco (who was suffering from back spasms throughout the playoffs) and scored on a force play.


In the 10th, the Reds broke through to win the game off A's closer Dennis Eckersley. Utilityman Bill Bates chopped an infield single off home plate to start the inning. Chris Sabo singled to left to put runners on first and second. Then Oliver, hit a bouncer that hopped over third base and down the line to drive in Bates with the winning run.

Game 3 turned out to be the Chris Sabo show as the Reds shockingly went up 3-0 on the defending champs. Tom Browning started for the Reds while Mike Moore, who got two wins in the 1989 World Series, got the assignment for Oakland. In the second inning, Sabo put the Reds up 1-0 with a solo homer. The lead was short lived as DH Harold Baines hit a soaring 2-run homer to give the A's a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second.

In the third, the Reds put the game completely out of reach with a 7 run inning. It all began with Billy Hatcher's 8th hit in 9 at bats (he had rapped into a doubleplay in the first inning ending his streak of seven straight hits). Paul O'Neill then singled off the glove of first baseman Mark McGwire to put runners on first and second. Eric Davis drilled a sharp single to center scoring Hatcher and advancing O'Niell to third. Following an RBI groundout by Hal Morris, the Reds went up 5-2 when Sabo hit his second homer of the game into the left field stands. Todd Benzinger then singled and Joe Oliver hit an RBI double. Mariano Duncan drove Oliver home with a single, stole second, and scored himself when Barry Larkin hit a gapper. The Oakland Coliseum was in a state of shock with the A's now down 8-2. Rickey Henderson's solo blast made it 8-3, but Tom Browning pitched effectively the rest of the way to earn the victory and put the Reds one win away from the title.

Game 4 was pitchers duel between Dave Stewart and Jose Rijo (the Game 1 starters) that eventually culminated in the Reds sweeping the series. The A's got on the board in the first when Willie McGee doubled and Carney Lansford singled him in. The game remained 1-0 until the 8th when the Reds finally got to Stewart. Barry Larkin singled up the middle, Herm Winningham followed with a bunt single, and Paul O'Neill reached on a throwing error by Stewart that loaded the bases. Glen Braggs's groundout and Hal Morris's sacrifice fly gave the Reds a precious 2-1 edge which was preserved by both Rijo, who at one point retired 20 straight batters, and Randy Myers who got the final two outs.

Trivia

  • When Oakland Athletics pitcher Dave Stewart entered to pitch Game 1, he had a six game postseason winning streak going (it ended after four innings of work).
  • Reds outfielder Billy Hatcher set a World Series record with seven consecutive hits. In addition, Hatcher's .750 batting average, (9 for 12), broke a mark for a four-game World Series that was previously set by Babe Ruth (.625 in 1928).
  • In the very first inning of Game 1, Reds left fielder Eric Davis hit a home run in left center that nearly hit the CBS television studio where anchor Pat O'Brien was sitting.
  • During Game 2, Reds pitcher Tom Browning's pregnant wife Debbie went into labor during the game. Debbie left her seat in the fifth inning to drive herself to the hospital. As the game went on, the Reds wanted Browning ready to pitch just in case the game went well into extra innings. Thinking that Browning was en route to a nearby hospital, the Reds had their radio broadcaster Marty Brennaman put out an All Points Bulletin on Browning, a bulletin that was picked up by Tim McCarver on CBS television, who passed it along in the ninth inning.
  • Before the Series, Chicago Tribune columnist Mike Royko issued the stunning prediction that the heavily favored A's were "doomed", based on the Ex-Cubs Factor. When the prediction came true, it fueled new interest in that arguably spurious correlation.
  • A's outfielder Willie McGee won a batting title that year, but it wasn't the AL batting title. He batted .335 for the NL's St Louis Cardinals before he was traded in late August to Oakland.
  • This was the last World Series to be scheduled to begin play on a Tuesday, and the first since 1984. The schedule called for the seven-game series to be held Tue-Wed, Fri-Sat-Sun, Tue-Wed. Games 5, 6, and 7, however were not necessary. All World Series since have been, and several prior were, scheduled to begin on a Saturday.

The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff (except in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when the winner was determined through a best-of-nine playoff) and is awarded the World Series Trophy, as well as World Series rings.
These series were arranged by the individual teams, not by the leagues directly, the same as the 1880s World's Series matches had been.
