McKeon’s bullpen fueled Riverfront’s last pennant chase

Jack McKeon’s bullpen didn’t have The Nasty Boys, but they were close.

The Nasty Boys—Randy Myers, Norm Charlton and Rob Dibble—will forever be one of the Reds greatest bullpens for Reds fans. If Cincinnati had the lead after six innings during the 1990 season, you could pretty much count on Marty Brennamen saying his trademark words after the Reds won.

They were indeed nasty. And also tough, resilient and all three had an aggressive mindset.

McKeon’s bullpen was led by a three-headed monster. That monster was Scott Sullivan, Scott Williamson and Danny Graves. Each had diverse strengths and came to the Reds in different ways.
