1990 Canadian Grand Prix, Race, Race report
In a race with a McLaren front row, the team looked strong. Senna maintained the lead coming into the first corner with Berger second, but the Austrian was deemed to have jumped the start. A few laps into the race it was announced that Berger would have a one-minute penalty added to his race time. As a consequence, after a round of pitstops for new tyres, Senna allowed his teammate to pass him going into the hairpin so that the Austrian could set about gaining time in relation to his competitors.


1990 Canadian Grand Prix, Race, Race report
The weather conditions were moist, making for a mildly slippery track. This caused spins for many. The first of the spinners was Pierluigi Martini who spun off at turn 2 on the first lap. Thierry Boutsen, the 1989 winner, spun mid-race while trying to pass Prost approaching a corner, and hit the Ligier of Nicola Larini as he spun.

Eastern Division teams played other East Division teams three times, while playing the West Division teams twice, once each home and away.

The playoff format was also modified with eight teams (five from the East and three from the West) now qualifying for the post-season, as opposed to six in the previous years. The fifth place team from the East would cross over and play in the West Division playoff bracket. In addition, the playoff format was changed from an aggregate score system to a total points system. Teams would play a two-game series, with teams earning two points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss, regardless of the score.


1990 Canadian Soccer League season, Format and changes from previous season
If the teams were tied on points (e.g. each team won a game, or both games were ties), then the first tiebreaker was the teams playing a thirty-minute mini-game. If the mini-game resolved nothing, then penalty kicks were used as the second tiebreaker. In the mini-game, each team named a new lineup, could include three more substitutes and re-activate any players who sat out of Game Two for caution accumulation.

Game Two home teams, the higher seeds, had an advantage as they had their entire 22-man active list available while away teams often traveled with as few as 14 players for economic reasons. The playoff final remained a one-off match, as in previous years, hosted by the top seed, or team with the best league record, in 1990.

The 1990 budget did not introduce a major tax change, as income taxes were reformed in prior years and the Goods and Service tax was scheduled for implementation on January 1, 1991.

Although not part of the 1990 budget, three major taxes changes are implemented as of January 1, 1991:


1990 Canadian federal budget, Expenditures, Expenditure Control Plan
The 1990 budget sets out a control plan for expenditures and was predicted to yield $2.8 billion in savings in fiscal year 1990-91 and $3.3 billion in fiscal year 1991-92. This control plan complements the expenditure reductions of December 1989. Most government transfers to individuals, including old age pensions, child allowances, veterans' benefits and unemployment insurance, were not included.

Some programs were constrained to a 5%-annual growth until 1992:


1990 Canadian federal budget, Reactions, Opposition
Herb Gray, interim leader of the Official Opposition, rejected many features of the budget, notably the cuts to transfers to provinces and capping of research and science budget. Paul Martin, Liberal MP and candidate to the leadership of the Liberal Party, also rejected the budget as a symbol of the Conservatives' mismanagement of the economy.


1990 Canadian federal budget, Reactions, Opposition
Audrey McLaughlin, leader of the New Democratic Party held that the budget would not help students or homeless people and decried the lack of environmental measures, despite prior ambitious declarations made by the Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the Minister of Environment Lucien Bouchard.


1990 Canadian federal budget, Reactions, Provinces
The budget is characterized by Gérard D. Levesque, Quebec's finance minister, as a smokescreen and an unfair budget. He particularly criticizes the cuts to EPF as a tentative to download the federal deficit onto the provinces and the abolition of the Canadian Exploration Incentives Program that benefited mine exploration in Quebec rural areas (and especially Abitibi). The minister warns that the federal budget will likely lead tax increases for Quebec taxpayers to offset the downfall in revenues.

1990 Caribbean Cup
The 1990 Caribbean Cup (known as the Shell Caribbean Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the second edition of the Caribbean Cup, the football championship of the Caribbean, one of the CONCACAF zones. The final stage was hosted by Trinidad and Tobago.


1990 Caribbean Cup
The tournament was not completed. Play was suspended when Jamaat al Muslimeen attempted a coup d'état of the government of Trinidad and Tobago. The tournament was abandoned altogether after Tropical storm Arthur forced the cancellation of the final round of games. Trinidad and Tobago were to meet Martinique in the final, and Jamaica and Barbados were to meet in the third place match.


1990 Caribbean Series
The thirty-second edition of the Caribbean Series (Serie del Caribe) was played in 1990. It was held from February 5 through February 11 with the champions teams from the Dominican Republic, Leones del Escogido; Mexico, Naranjeros de Hermosillo; Puerto Rico, Senadores de San Juan, and Venezuela, Leones del Caracas. The format consisted of 12 games, each team facing the other teams twice, and was played at Miami Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida.


1990 Caribbean Series, Summary
The four-team, round-robin tournament was brought to Miami after it ran into dire economic woes in Caribbean countries. In a botched experiment, the Series games were played in the now defunct Orange Bowl, which had not been used for baseball since 1956, when the legendary Satchel Paige pitched there in an exhibition game.


1990 Caribbean Series, Summary
According to series organizers, the facility was chosen because of its proximity to the city's Latin community. But because of the way it was built, the Orange Bowl was not suitable for baseball. As a result, makeshift conditions in the old ballpark led to poor infield play, which was pockmarked and worn down from use during a recent soccer tournament. Since the start, there had been numerous bad hops and infielders were visibly shying away from ground balls, resulting in high scoring games. In addition, players and managers were annoyed at the park`s dimensions. It was only 250 feet down the left-field line, according to Series officials, but those who played on it believe it was closer to 220 feet.


1990 Caribbean Series, Summary
The Dominican Leones del Escogido won the competition with a 5-1 record and were managed by Felipe Alou. The club got a fine offensive performance from outfielder and Series MVP Gerónimo Berroa, who hit .300 with four home runs and eight runs batted in, including two homers and five RBI in the decisive game against the Senadores de San Juan of Puerto Rico, who tied for second with the Leones del Caracas of Venezuela.


1990 Caribbean Series, Summary
The last-place Naranjeros de Hermosillo finished with a 1-5 record, but included batting champion Cornelio García (.520) and catcher Homar Rojas in the All-Star team. In addition, Barry Jones of Puerto Rico smashed five home runs to tie the single-series record set by Rico Carty in the 1977 tournament. A left-handed pull hitter, Jones achieved the feat easily, thanks to the controversial shortened left-field fence required by the patchwork Orange Bowl diamond.


1990 Caribbean Series, Summary
A record of 48 home runs were hit in the Series, to surpass the mark of 30 homers set in the 1987 edition. Meanwhile, the poor attendance of almost 50,000 spectators during the six-day-long tournament was considered the worst in Series history.


1990 Carlentini earthquake
The 1990 Carlentini earthquake (Italian: Terremoto di Carlentini del 1990) occurred off the Sicilian coast, 20 km east northeast from the town of Augusta, Sicily on 13 December at 01:24 local time. The moderately-sized earthquake measuring 5.6 on the moment magnitude scale (Mw ), resulted in the deaths of 19 people and caused at least 200 injuries. It also inflicted significant damage in the region, leaving 2,500 homeless.


1990 Carlentini earthquake
The Mw  5.6 earthquake which occurred on 00:24 UTC reportedly lasted 45 seconds, reaching a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). The earthquake was followed-up by four aftershocks that were felt by people.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Tectonic setting
The island of Sicily is situated near the edge of a convergent plate boundary where the African Plate is colliding with Eurasia. The denser African Plate subducts or dives beneath the Eurasian Plate. Subduction occurr offshore in the Mediterranean Sea along the Calabrian subduction zone. The presence of active subduction makes Sicily a seismically active island due to the resulting crustal deformation associated with the interaction of the Eurasian and African plates.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Earthquake
The largest shock measured 5.6 on the moment magnitude scale (Mw ) an 5.4 on the Richter scale (ML ). Focal mechanism of the mainshock suggested it occurred as a result of strike-slip faulting on either a sinistral, north-south striking, vertically dipping fault, or a dextral, east-west fault plane.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Earthquake, Foreshocks and aftershocks
There were four small foreshocks that were recorded in early December up to one day before the mainshock. Two small earthquakes occurred on the same day of December 3. On December 11 and 12, two foreshocks with magnitudes of 2.1 to 2.4 occurred.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Earthquake, Foreshocks and aftershocks
In the first three days after the mainshock, there was a period of unusually low seismicity in the region. Only a handful of aftershocks, the largest being a 2.7, was recorded in the first 30 minutes after the earthquake. The largest aftershock measured ML  4.6 or mb 4.5 on December 16 at 13:50 UTC. Focal mechanism of the largest aftershock suggested normal faulting. The occurrence of the largest aftershock led to a sudden increase of seismic activity in the region, which continued for 19 days. The aftershock sequence would continue until January 5 of 1991.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Damage
The quake interrupted railway services on the Catania-Caltagirone-Gela railway, and the Messina–Syracuse railway lines due to damaged communication. Train stations in the towns of Brucoli and Scordia were seriously damaged. Public buildings including a hospital in Mineo and Scordia were affected.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Damage
At least 41 municipalities across the provinces of Syracuse, Catania and Ragusa. By January 3, 1991, authorities have announced that 6,103 buildings were damaged, destroyed or unsafe for use. At least 5,133 of the structures were in Syracuse, 929 in Catania and 41 in Ragusa. Over 13, 217 residents became homeless, with the most reported in Syracuse.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Casualties
In the town of Carlentini, with a population of 10,000 at the time, was the most affected population center during the quake, with most of the recorded fatalities here. The bodies of five people of the same family were pulled out from the rubble of their collapsed home, killed while in their sleep. Another family of seven was discovered dead in another part of the town. An eighth victim belonging to the family died in a hospital in Lentini due to injuries sustained. Four people in the Catania, all seniors, and another in Niscemi, died from heart attacks attributed to the shock.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Casualties
At least 200 people suffered injuries as a result of the tremor, while 2,500 people were made homeless. Five people in two neighbourhoods in Carlentini were seriously injured. A five-year-old boy was among the survivors that wa pulled our of the rubble of his collapsed home.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Response
Just before the earthquake struck, an emergency exercise simulating an earthquake with 500 casualties within an area of 40 km² had taken place. During the actual rescue and recovery efforts however, life-saving equipment did not perform as expected and were functioning poorly. The poor performance of rescue workers and equipment led to a criminal inquiry.


1990 Carlentini earthquake, Response
More than 7,000 homeless residents were relocated to abandoned salt pans where containers were set up as makeshift homes. Further damage was inflicted by the large aftershock on December 26, which prompted the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to set up assistance camps in Scordia, Militello and Palagonia.

1990 Chadian coup d'état
The 1990 Chadian coup d'état took place on 3 December 1990 when the forces of the Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS), a Libyan–backed rebel group under the leadership of General Idriss Déby, entered the Chadian capital N'Djamena unopposed. The MPS troops entered Chad by crossing the Sudanese border three weeks earlier.


1990 Chadian coup d'état
Previously, on 2 December, pro–Western President Hissène Habré (who ruled the country since 1982) reportedly fled to neighboring Cameroon with his family, Cabinet and top aides as his military, the Chadian National Armed Forces (FANT), collapsed.


1990 Chadian coup d'état, French position
Although France repeatedly supported the Habré government against local rebellions and Libyan attacks in the 1980s, the French government gave instructions to the 1,300 French troops stationed in Chad not to intervene in what it described as an internal conflict, with French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas saying in an apparent reference to France's traditional deep involvement in Françafrique, its former colonies in Africa:


1990 Chadian coup d'état, French position
The times have passed when France would pick governments or would change governments and would maintain others when it so wished.


1990 Chadian coup d'état, French position
Dumas said some 300 extra French troops were sent to Chad in recent days only to protect French citizens and maintain order. The French and the MPS troops immediately began disarming civilians and restoring order after rioting and looting swept through N'Djamena after the collapse of the Habré government.

1990 Chatham Cup
The 1990 Chatham Cup was the 63rd annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.


1990 Chatham Cup
Up to the last 16 of the competition, the cup was run in three regions (northern, central, and southern). National League teams received a bye until the final 64 stage. In all, 147 teams took part in the competition.


1990 Chatham Cup, The 1990 final
The final returned to the Cup's early home, the Basin Reserve. It was the first to be decided on penalties. Replays, which had been used in previous tied finals, were no longer used in the Chatham Cup by 1990. The final was close and tense, with three goals to each team. Mount Wellington finished the match with ten men after Dave Witteveen was sent off in extra time. Johan Verweij scored in his fourth successive final - unfortunately for him, in the 1990 final it was an own goal. The penalty shoot-out was no less tense, with several shots having to be retaken.


1990 Chatham Cup, The 1990 final
Mount Wellington and Christchurch United were as evenly matched in the 1990 final as they had been when they met in the epic 1972 Chatham Cup final. That match produced thirteen goals spread across three matches, with eight in the first match alone. The 1990 final was equally exciting, with records being set and plenty of on-pitch action. Among the records were those of Ron Armstrong, who played in his eighth final - equally Tony Sibley with a record which stood alongside father Ken Armstrong's earlier cup heroics as player and coach.


1990 Chatham Cup, The 1990 final
The first half produced three goals. Allan Carville led the way for the southerners, before a wayward backpass from Verweij caught the wind and beat his own keeper to level things up. The Mount took the lead for the first time with a fine curving shot from Noel Barkley, 1990 New Zealand player of the year. From this point on, Christchurch went on the attack, mainly through the efforts of Michael McGarry, but they only produced one goal to show for it, a second for Carville.


1990 Chatham Cup, The 1990 final
Extra time produced more excitement, with a missed penalty from United's skipper Keith Braithwaite. Then in the dying stages, referee Roger Woolmer game a free kick to Mount Wellington close to the Christchurch goal. Keeper Alan Stroud could only parry the ball, and Armstrong stuck the ball home. Christchurch fought back, and with only seconds remaining McGarry deflected a Julyan Falloon cross into the Mount's net.


1990 Chatham Cup, The 1990 final
And so it came down to penalties. Mount Wellington scored with four of their five efforts, from Terry Torrens, Noel Barkley, Grant Lightbown, and Steve O'Donoghue. The only Aucklander failing to find the net was Ron Armstrong, thanks to a fine save from Stroud. It was the Christchurch United kicks which produced the most drama, however. McGarry failed to find the target, and keeper Paul Schofield saved Braithwaite's effort, only to hear the referee calling for it to be retaken, as Schofield had moved. Braithwaite scored from the retaken kick. More was to come, with Verweij's kick having to be retaken not once but twice for the same offence - and Schofield saved on all three occasions. Though Michael Boomer scored with Christchurch's fourth kick, the lead became unassailable after O'Donoghue made it 4–2 for the Mount.

1990 Chicago Bears season
The 1990 Chicago Bears season was their 71st regular season and 20th postseason completed in the National Football League (NFL). The Bears were looking to return to the playoffs after missing them in 1989 and did so, winning their sixth NFC Central Division championship in seven seasons. With the change in playoff structuring that began in 1990, the Bears were not guaranteed a bye week for winning the division and had to play on Wild Card weekend. They defeated the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round but were defeated by the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants at Giants Stadium in the Divisional Playoffs. This was also the last division title the Bears would win until 2001.


1990 Chicago Bears season
For the only time in Mike Ditka's tenure as the Bears' head coach, the team played a regular season game in the state of Arizona when they visited the Phoenix Cardinals on October 28. Chicago left Tempe victorious; it was the Bears' first matchup against the Cardinals since Chicago visited the Cardinals in St. Louis six years earlier.

In the Wild Card, the Bears defeated the New Orleans Saints to advance to a Divisional Round matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants ended the Bears playoff run on their way to winning the Super Bowl.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Wild Card
The Bears defense held the Saints to 193 total yards, 65 rushing yards, 6 first downs, and two field goals. Chicago also recorded 365 yards of total offense. Bears running back Neal Anderson compiled 102 rushing yards, 42 receiving yards, and threw a 22-yard Halfback option pass.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Wild Card
The score was 10–3 at the end of the first half, due to a Kevin Butler field goal and Mike Tomczak's 18-yard touchdown pass to tight end James Thornton. The Saints' only score of the half was a 47-yard field goal by Morten Andersen, who would later miss from 41 yards and have another attempt blocked. Also, with 3 minutes left before halftime, New Orleans starting quarterback Steve Walsh, who had completed just 6 of 16 passes, was knocked out of the game and replaced by John Fourcade. Fourcade fared no better, finishing the game with just 5 of 18 for 79 yards, including two interceptions.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Wild Card
Still the Saints were just trailing 10–3 near the end of the third quarter, and had a great chance to tie the game when defensive tackle Renaldo Turnbull blocked Butler's 45-yard field goal attempt. New Orleans defensive end Vince Buck recovered the ball and returned it 62 yards for a potential touchdown, only to see the play wiped out by an offsides penalty on teammate Robert Massey, who had lined up with his hand over the neutral zone. The penalty not only eliminated the score, but it also gave Chicago a first down, and 7 plays later, Butler kicked a 25-yard field goal to put them up 13–3.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Wild Card
With 5:52 left in the fourth quarter, Andersen's 38-yard field goal brought the scoring difference back to just a touchdown at 13–6. However, when faced with 3rd and 11 on the Bears ensuing drive, Tomczak completed a 38-yard pass to Dennis Gentry, enabling Chicago to maintain possession and drive to Butler's game clinching 21-yard field goal with 3:47 remaining on the clock.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Wild Card
You just try to line up as close as you can; I didn't realize I was offside", said Massey about his critical penalty after the game. "But when I saw the flag, I said, 'Oh, God!' I knew it was me."


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Wild Card
This was Mike Ditka's last playoff win as Bears head coach.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Divisional
The Giants defense dominated the game by allowing only 27 rushing yards and 3 points. This was the fewest rushing yards Chicago had gained in a game since 1967. Their previous low for the season was 100. Bears running back Neal Anderson, who had rushed for over 1,000 yards in the season and 102 yards in the previous playoff game, was held to 19 yards on 12 carries. Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler, playing because starter Phil Simms suffered a season-ending injury, completed 10 out of 17 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 43 yards and another score.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Divisional
On Chicago's second possession of the game, Giants defensive back Mark Collins intercepted Mike Tomczak's pass after it bounced out of the hands of Dennis Gentry and returned it 11 yards to set up a 46-yard field goal by Matt Bahr. The Bears took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the Giants 27, but on 4th down and 12, coach Mike Ditka decided against attempting a field goal in the 13 mph winds. On Chicago's conversion attempt, Anderson caught a pass from Tomczak, but was stuffed after a short gain. The Giants then drove 75 yards, including a 6-yard fourth-down conversion catch by reserve tight end Bob Mrosko, to go up 10–0 on Hostetler's 21-yard completion to Stephen Baker.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Divisional
In the second quarter, Hosteler lost a fumble while being sacked by Steve McMichael, and Bears lineman Dan Hampton recovered the ball. Chicago then drove to the Giants 1-yard line. But on a 4th down conversion attempt, Giants defensive end John Washington plowed through Jim Covert's block attempt and tackled fullback Brad Muster for a loss. Still, the Bears managed to force a three-and-out, and convert good starting field position into a 33-yard field goal by Kevin Butler. But before the end of the half, the Giants went up 17–3 with an 80-yard, 11-play scoring drive. On the first play, Hostetler scrambled away from a Bears blitz and rushed for 11 yards. Later on, he converted a 4th and 1 at the Bears 32 with a 10-yard burst, and eventually he finished the drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Howard Cross.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Divisional
In the third quarter, Hostelter converted his third 4th down of the day with 9-yard scramble on 4th and 6, and finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run, putting his team up 24–3. Chicago responded with a drive to the Giants 5-yard line. On 4th and goal, Muster caught a pass at the 1, but was dropped by linebackers Pepper Johnson and Gary Reasons before he could get across the goal line. In the fourth quarter, Giants defensive back Everson Walls returned an interception 37 yards to the Giants 49. The Giants then went on a 51-yard drive consisting of 16 running plays, the last a 1-yard touchdown plunge by fullback Maurice Carthon, that ate up 10:30 of play time.


1990 Chicago Bears season, Post Season, Divisional
This game offered a preview of what lay in store for Super Bowl XXV, as the Giants scored on drives of 75, 80, 49 and 51 yards, which lasted nine, 11, 11 and 16 plays. Overall, the Giants held the ball for 38:22, compared to Chicago's 21:38.

1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
The World Series between the Oakland Athletics and the Reds featured friends at the managerial level. Athletics manager Tony La Russa and Reds manager Lou Piniella were old friends and teammates from their Tampa American Legion Post 248 team.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
Before the Series, while Peter Gammons of ESPN had predicted an Oakland sweep, Chicago Tribune columnist Mike Royko issued the stunning prediction that the heavily favored A's were "doomed", based on the Ex-Cubs Factor. When the prediction came true, it fueled new interest in that arguably spurious correlation.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, who was drunk at the time, made a major verbal slip-up when she dedicated the 1990 World Series to "our women and men in the Far East" (Schott meant to say Middle East). In the first inning of Game 1, Reds center fielder Eric Davis hit a home run in left center that nearly hit the CBS television studio where anchor Pat O'Brien was sitting.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
Also in Game 1, Billy Hatcher helped out offensively in a big way by starting his streak of 7 straight hits in the series (after a walk in the 1st). José Rijo settled in after the early lead and cruised to a surprise Cincinnati victory. The following day, the headline of the Cincinnati Post newspaper captured the city's surprise with the headline, "DAVIS STUNS GOLIATH."


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
During Game 2, Reds pitcher Tom Browning's pregnant wife Debbie went into labor during the game. Debbie left her seat in the fifth inning to drive herself to the hospital. As the game went on, the Reds wanted Browning ready to pitch just in case the game went well into extra innings. Thinking that Browning was en route to a nearby hospital, the Reds had their radio broadcaster Marty Brennaman put out an All Points Bulletin on Browning, a bulletin that was picked up by Tim McCarver on CBS television, who passed it along in the ninth inning.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
Game 4 was a pitchers' duel between Dave Stewart and José Rijo (the Game 1 starters) that eventually culminated in the Reds sweeping the series. The A's got on the board in the first when Willie McGee doubled and Carney Lansford singled him in. The game remained 1–0 until the 8th when the Reds finally got to Stewart.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
Barry Larkin singled up the middle, Herm Winningham followed with a bunt single, and Paul O'Neill reached on a throwing error by Stewart that loaded the bases. Glen Braggs's groundout and Hal Morris's sacrifice fly gave the Reds a precious 2–1 edge which was preserved by both Rijo, who at one point retired 20 straight batters. Randy Myers, one of the Nasty Boys, appeared in relief and got the final two outs.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series
The 1990 World Series would be the Reds 5th championship but would also be remembered as one of the biggest upsets in baseball history. Until 2020, this was the last World Series to be scheduled to begin play on a Tuesday, and the only since 1984. The schedule called for the seven-game series to be held Tue-Wed, Fri-Sat-Sun, Tue-Wed. Games 5, 6, and 7, however were not necessary.


1990 Cincinnati Reds season, World series, Highlights
The three primary members of the bullpen; Norm Charlton, Randy Myers, and Rob Dibble (who threw a fastball in excess of 99 mph) were known as the "Nasty Boys" – and wouldn't let the A's score against them in nearly nine innings of work. Media talk of a forthcoming A's dynasty led Reds fans to call their own team the "dyNASTY."

Reds outfielder Billy Hatcher set a World Series record with seven consecutive hits. In addition, Hatcher's .750 batting average, (9 for 12), broke a mark for a four-game World Series that was previously set by Babe Ruth (.625 in 1928).
