Reds Quarter Finals

(16) 1999 vs. (2) 1975
1975 wins the first three games to take a 3-0 lead. 1999 then wins their last two home games to get to 3-2. 1975 closes out the series in 6 games with a 7-6 victory. Johnny Bench was named MVP as he hit .375 with an unheard of 7 homeruns and 15 RBI's in what may have been the best show of power in a series ever. Tony Perez hit .333 with 3 homeruns and 8 RBI's (probably enough to be MVP any other series). Sean Casey hit .409 with 3 homeruns and 5 RBI's in the loss.

(14) 1923 vs. (4) 1976
In a decent series 1976 wins in 6 games. Rawly Eastwick was named MVP as he was 2-0 with 1 save and an ERA of 0.00 in relief. Bubbles Hargrave hit .385 with 1 homerun and 6 RBI's in the loss.

(12) 2012 vs. (6) 1939
1939 dominated with pitching in a 4 game sweep. They allowed only 1 run in the entire series. With no offensive stars a random MVP was given to Junior Thompson who was 1-0 with an ERA of 0.00. It really should have been given to the entire pitching staff as they allowed just 20 hits and 1 run total in the series.

(8) 1972 vs. (7) 1970
1972 sweeps their close relatives. Johnny Bench is named MVO as he hit .353 with 3 homeruns and 9 RBI's. Pete Rose hit .438 with 2 RBI's in the loss.
