The 1996 Cincinnati Reds season was the 127th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 27th and 26th full season at Cinergy Field. The Reds failed to improve on their record of 85–59 from 1995 and defend their National League Central title, finishing the season at 81–81 and a third place finish.

Offseason

[edit]
  • December 7, 1995: Chris Sabo was signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Reds.[1]
  • January 2, 1996: Eric Davis was signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Reds.[2]
  • January 9, 1996: Mike Kelly was traded by the Atlanta Braves to the Cincinnati Reds for a player to be named later and Chad Fox. The Cincinnati Reds sent Ray King (June 11, 1996) to the Atlanta Braves to complete the trade.[3]
  • January 20, 1996: Vince Coleman signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Reds.[4]
  • February 26, 1996: Joe Oliver was signed as a free agent with the Cincinnati Reds.[5]
  • February 26, 1996: Damon Berryhill was released by the Cincinnati Reds.[6]

Regular season

[edit]
  • Opening Day (April 1) – Seven pitches into the first game of the season, at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, home plate umpire John McSherry collapses on the field and dies of a massive heart attack.[7] The game between the Reds and Montreal Expos is postponed. Reds owner Marge Schott later comes under fire for wanting the game in Cincinnati to continue despite the tragedy (and against the wishes of the players on both teams), saying that she felt "cheated" when it was canceled.

Opening Day lineup

[edit]

Note: the two lineups have multiple differences, as the Expos had scheduled right-hander Pedro Martínez to start on April 1; he was replaced by left-hander Jeff Fassero for the April 2 game.
