— In a heartfelt tribute to one of the most unforgettable teams in franchise history, the Cincinnati Reds will host a special reunion event on July 16th at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the club’s 1990 World Series championship.

The event will not only bring together surviving players, coaches, and staff from that historic team, but will also serve as a powerful remembrance of two of the organization’s most beloved figures: manager Lou Piniella and legendary broadcaster Marty Brennaman, both of whom have since passed away but remain deeply embedded in the soul of Reds baseball.

The night will feature live interviews, highlight reels, panel discussions, and heartfelt tributes to those who shaped the Reds’ title-winning identity. Players from the 1990 team — known for their underdog spirit and commanding sweep of the Oakland Athletics — are expected to attend and share rare behind-the-scenes stories and memories of a magical postseason run.

A major portion of the evening will be dedicated to honoring Piniella, who managed the team to its most recent World Series title with grit and passion, and Brennaman, whose iconic voice narrated the journey for fans across generations. Both men will be commemorated through video tributes, personal reflections from former players and colleagues, and a special memorial presentation highlighting their indelible impact on Cincinnati baseball.

Organizers have teased surprise appearances, including messages from baseball legends and former opponents, making this not just a reunion, but a citywide celebration of baseball legacy, unity, and the passage of time.

A spokesperson for the Reds said:

“This isn’t just about the 1990 team — it’s about the people who made Reds baseball what it is today. We’re gathering to remember, to laugh, to honor, and to thank those who gave everything to this city, especially Lou and Marty.”

Tickets are in high demand as Reds fans prepare to relive one of the most iconic moments in franchise history — this time, with added emotion, reflection, and pride.
