A cleaned-up Riverfront Stadium

George Foster · 06-10-2006, 04:37 AM

Day and night pics...perfect for that Chris Sabo-era replay!

Or, if you really like the Cincinnati Bengals, here's the original:

Awesome work!

yes i prefer NO Bengal lines

Raidergoo · 06-10-2006, 03:40 PM

That's got to be from the mid to late 1990s, with the picture taken from the lower red seats, I imagine.

Erasing the football lines took a bit of work. Good show.

Thank god we've got two stadiums instead of one. Why on earth the Bengals got the palace and the Reds got the pedestrian stadium, I will never know.

Wait! I do know.

You're probably right, I can't remember when they started pulling-down those Cigarette signs (Winston ad).

Anyone have any good color pics of Crosley Field?

The Winston ad went down after the tobacco settlement in 1998.

" on Crosley pix, they have to be out there somewhere.

Wow! Great pics. Those images bring back a few memories for this former 10 year old.

George Foster · 07-12-2006, 12:16 AM

Cool!

Very nice!

Isn't Sabo a coach or some kind of instructor with the Dragons now?

Nisca11 · 07-12-2006, 08:28 PM

Kind of same topic. But what is the best Stadium pack out there?

Gambo · 07-13-2006, 05:55 PM

The base pic for that riverfront stadium is the same used for APBA Baseball for Windows which came was released in late 1993, and started releasing stadium add-ons soon later (however, I dont remember when they released that specific stadium. So it couldn't be any later than ~1998 due to the ads. The Marlins started playing in 1993 so it can't be earlier than that. So it's 1993-1998.

This has piqued my interest. I'll check a little deeper.

I have the original photo and the time on the clock is 2:19, it is the top of the 1st and their is one out, nobody on. The batter appears to be dark skinned. I think it's either Carr, Jerry Browne, Cliff Floyd or Luis Castillo. But I just cant get it any clearer.

The batter is Edgar Renteria. The game was played on either 4-24-94 or 5-22-96. Either way Renteria batted 2nd.

Gambo · 07-13-2006, 11:55 PM

Good work, beat me.

Then is has to be in '96 cuz Renteria wasn't there in 94. The other game Magadan batted 2nd and the scoreboard says shortstop.

George Foster · 07-14-2006, 12:48 AM

Man, that's some serious CSI-style research. Well Done!

I wouldn't have thought he was either, but there he is. I bet you're right, tho, about it being 96. The catcher appears to be wearing a single-digit number (almost hidden behind his strap), which would be Joe Oliver's 9.

This is by far the most baseball-geeky post I've ever made.

Don't know if this has been mentioned: It has to be before 1997, because I believe Cinergy had their name on the outfield wall.

Raidergoo · 07-14-2006, 07:28 AM

That does look like John Smiley on the mound.

The game time concerns me slightly. I would have guessed the game would have started at 12:35 PM if it was a Business Day Special.
