I still recall the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first round of the 1995 playoffs. That team had talented players, but none of them were stars. Cincinnati fans really enjoyed that postseason series, especially after the labor debacle that had canceled the World Series the previous year. Now here we are nearly two decades later, and the Reds have not won another postseason game. They did manage to reach the playoffs last year, only to be swept by the Philadelphia Phillies.
