About

Relive the fierce, star-studded baseball rivalry that defined an unforgettable era of the game.

During the 1970s, the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers emerged as two of baseball's greatest powerhouses. Featuring legendary players including Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Steve Garvey, Don Sutton, and Ron Cey, their battles for National League supremacy created one of the sport's most intense rivalries—even if history has largely forgotten it. 

In Cincinnati Red and Dodger Blue, sportswriter Tom Van Riper brings this remarkable period back to life, exploring the players, managers, executives, and broadcasters who shaped both teams and left a lasting mark on Major League Baseball. Particular attention is given to the dramatic 1973 season, when the clubs battled down the stretch in a race that included a pivotal extra-inning showdown. 

Featuring previously unpublished interviews with former players, this engaging baseball history captures the personalities, competition, and changing landscape of a decade when Reds versus Dodgers was one of the biggest matchups in the game.
