The Complete 1961 Cincinnati Reds Yearbook

[1400deadwood]

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Yes, the '61 Reds were a great team. What a lineup & pitching staff. If it hadn't been for the greatness of the NY Yanks that year people would be talking about the Reds far more often. They were very special!

remeber all these yearbooks; used to buy them at Mannys baseball land across the street from Yankees Stadium. One of my favorite things after the game buying a yearbook or cap.

If they had better pitching, the story of the early 1960's Cincinnati Reds would have been totally different. The lost to the Yankees in 5 games in the 1961 WS, and they were never the same. It wasn't until the end of the decade that the Reds became relevant again.

That video was great. My dad was Ken Hunt, and this video brought back a lot of memories about the stories he used to tell me. Thank you again.

I still have a copy of this yearbook. Interesting to see it on YouTube.

Wow! This is fantastic! I was born in 1961! Born a Reds fan, and STILL a Reds fan! They are having a great season this year and I would LOVE to see them go all the way and win the World Series!

Glad you like it. This book belongs to my brother in law. He's had it since it was new.

Hey, there should have been more pictures of the guy who hit the longest home runs in the National League, Wally Post!

I had this yearbook, but it disappeared sometime over the years. My brother and I were there on Camera Day in 1961. In those days they let the kids out on the field before the game to take pictures of their favorite players. My favorite was always Robby.

This was great! My dad too me to my first game was at Crosley sometime around 1966 when I was 5 years old. Some of those guys were still around back then. Thanks for posting this.

Though I'm hardly the baseball fan I was years ago(the league is too big, the games too long, sports in general are overvalued in America), I fell real hard for this unique and very smart presentation of yours. Yearbooks also had a mystique- the whole life of the team there in photos and the great ads.

For some reason, I typed in Vada Pinson to see what was out there, and I came to this gem of yours. Thanks.

[manhatin]

Thanks, Isn't it something how these old ads seem so homey ?

@written12: Say, I remember that guy, Vada Pinson. I saw him make the most incredible shoe-string catch ever at the LA Coliseum in '60. The entire stadium let out a loud AWE at the sight of that spectacle. I was just a squirt, and Dodger Stadium was yet to be constructed. I think the nation was much happier in those times.
