Being a 31 year old Reds fan has had its ups and its downs over the years. The lowliest of lows include the mid/late 90’s and the early 2000’s where plucking a winning team from those forgettable years is about as rare as Jose Peraza walk (sorry Jose, but with a 4% walk rate you kind of set yourself up for that one). The highest of highs consist of the Jay Bruce homer to clinch the division in 2010 and the first 2 games of the 2012 NLDS (we won’t talk about the last 3 games of the 2012 NLDS…where the Reds lost in an epic meltdown…to the Giants…who went on to win the World Series).
