Remember that 1990 was before cell phones an internet.
I had a camping trip planned that weekend with some friends for "Bridge Day" in West Virginia. Reds won the firat two game at home and were up 2-0 when I left on Friday. I hated to miss the games on Friday and Saturday, but they were playing in Oakland and I didn't think there was any way we would win 2 straight there and sweep them. First thing I did when we came out of the woods was buy a paper and read the sports section. Not only had the Reds won the series but my UT Vols who were ranked #3 in the country had been upset by an unranked Alabama team with a losing record (2-3).
Hard to imagine how it was without cell phones and internet.
