The Mike Sisler era in Cincinnati is recalled as a fair hitter’s father of Hall of Famer George Sisler. He led a short managerial run after Fred Hutchinson’s death and was fired as the 1965 Reds contended for the pennant. Despite strong offense and pitching struggles, the Reds fell short and debate over the firing continues post World Series.
