Best Year in Cincinnati Sports?

[*ochocincos*]

What would you consider the best year sports-wise for Cincinnati? I'm thinking it's a year where both teams did well.

Here are the years I came up with:
1975 - Big Red Machine's first championship; Bengals 11-3 and lose divisional round playoffs
1976 - Big Red Machine's second championship; Bengals 10-4
1981 - Reds first place in strike year but no playoffs due to split season; Bengals play in their first Super Bowl (loss to SF)
1988 - Reds 87 win season, but no playoffs; Bengals play in second Super Bowl (loss to SF)
1990 - Reds go wire-to-wire and win World Series; Bengals last playoff victory, lose in divisional round
2012 - Reds with 97 wins, lost heartbreaker to SF in NLDS; Bengals 10-6, lose in wildcard

Is there another year that sticks out to you that isn't here?
