After the Reds lost the World Series to Oakland, downtown Cincinnati showed a muted scene. Fans lingered near Fountain Square and Riverfront Stadium, while police recalled the pennant celebration and a lone impromptu football game drew attention.
Sparky Anderson sensed trouble from the first inning as Angel Mangual sparked an Oakland rally with a three base error and Denis Menke booted a high bounce. The Athletics beat the Reds 3-2 to claim the World Series title with Tenace driving in two runs and Rollie Fingers closing out the win before a crowd of 56 040 at the stadium.
John Odom declared Oakland has the best pitching staff after a 3-2 victory over Cincinnati clinching the World Series. Sal Bando backed the claim with a run scoring double, Rollie Fingers earned the save, and manager Dick Williams reflected on his bold, crowd-pleasing decisions.
Los Angeles erased a late deficit to beat Cincinnati 15 12 on David Rays 32 yard field goal as Ron Gabriel directed late runs by Willie Ellison. Rams kicker Horst Muhlmann missed three short attempts but Ray sealed the win for Los Angeles.
A 3 year-old man from Louisville, Elwood King, was arrested after a threat against Oakland slugger Gene Tenace at Riverfront Stadium. He faced a concealed firearm charge, posted 500 dollars bond, and was to appear in court. Police said he had a loaded pistol and whisky. A woman in line reported the threat.
The 24 year old Cash of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit safely in 19 straight games between May 1 and May 26. A Utica New York native, Cash authored the streak as Ken Henderson of the San Francisco Giants nearly matched it but fell one game short in a late August contest.
