Wire to wire, man what a fun season that was. I had just got home from the Navy and got to watch a bunch of those games with dad. He was a giant Reds fan, big baseball fan in general. Dad worked at the steel mill in New Boston, Ohio with Pete Tenace father of Gene Tenace of Oakland A's fame of early 70's. Gene got me a baseball signed by basically the entire A's team which included Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers, Mgr. Dick Williams and so on.

I still have it but it's badly faded over the decades.
