Who in Major League Baseball, including many (maybe most) diehard Reds fans, didn’t leave them for dead the morning of 9-11-2020. Just one game short of completing three quarters of the shortened season they were at 19 wins and 25 losses. The hope of a long-awaited return to the playoffs seemed over. Nothing in their season long performance would have led you to believe they would finish 12 and 4 over the final 16 games, including series wins over four playoff bound teams. Now with three top of the rotation starters in Trevor Bauer (had to love his duck walk on 9-23-20), Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray all things are possible and hope springs eternal!

2020 has not been the year any business expected. The Reds have shown that with continued dedication to task, and maybe just a little luck, a season can turn around when you least expect it.

FYI – the 16 game turnaround started on the 35th anniversary of Pete Rose’s record breaking 4192!
