The Cincinnati Reds 1972 season consisted of the Reds winning the National League West title with a record of 95–59, 10½ games over the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers. They defeated the previous year’s World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1972 National League Championship Series. But lost to the Oakland Athletics in seven games in the 1972 World Series. The Reds were managed by Sparky Anderson.
The theme for the Reds was “Redemption” after a disastrous 1971 season. That saw the Reds fall from a World Series participant in 1970 to a sub .500 team a year later. In fact, the March 13, 1972, Sports Illustrated edition featured the Reds on the front cover headlining “Redemption for the Reds.” The Reds won 102 games in 1970, but only 79 a year later. A major catalyst for the Reds, Bobby Tolan, ruptured his Achilles’ tendon in the winter of 1971, and he missed the entire ’71 MLB season. Nearly every Reds regular, including Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Pérez, Bernie Carbo and David Concepcion, had significant decreases in their production from 1970. The lone exception was popular first baseman Lee May, who set career highs in home runs (39) and slugging percentage (.532). More
