The Cincinnati Reds pitchers gave up more home runs this year than any pitching staff in MLB history. That was the latest saga in what has become the Big Donkey Curse. The Big Donkey Curse is the way that the Reds have been unable to win a postseason series since they moved to GABP.
Adam Dunn made his ML B debut in the middle of the 2001 season. He quickly earned the nickname Big Donkey despite the fact that he was an above average athlete. Dunn was the Reds’ best slugger when they moved to their new digs, GABP, to start the 2003 season.
