The Reds were abysmal last night in the All-Star Game, going 0 for 6 with 4 strikeouts, plus an error by Jay Bruce. Here are the highlights and lowlights in Reds' ASG history.
Best combined hitting:
1) 1976. 7 for 14, 3 runs, 4 RBI, 1 HR. Bench, Concepcion, Foster, Griffey, Perez, Morgan and Rose. Foster's 3-run HR was the highlight.
2) 1956. 6 for 15, 3 runs, 2 RBI. Bailey, Kluszewski, Bell, Robinson, McMillan, Temple. Big Klu was 2 for 2.
3) 1954. 3 for 5, 3 runs, 5 RBI, 2 HR from only two players - Bell and Kluszewski.
4) 1980. 3 for 6, 3 runs, 1 RBI, 1 HR. Bench, Concepcion, Knight, and Griffey - who had the HR.
5) 1975. 5 for 15, 2 RBI. Bench, Morgan, Rose, Concepcion, Perez.
Honorable mention to 1967...only 1 for 4, but the hit was a game-winning HR by Perez in the 15th inning.
Best pitching:
1) 1940. 4 IP, 0 runs allowed. Derringer (got the win) and Walters.
2) 1990. 4 IP, 0 runs allowed. Armstrong, Dibble and Myers.
3) 1942. 4 IP, 0 runs allowed. Vander Meer and Walters.
4) 1938. 3 IP, 0 runs allowed by Vander Meer, who also got the win.
5) 1982. 2.1 IP, 0 runs allowed. Soto and Hume, who recorded a save.
Worst all-around:
1) 1995. 0 for 6 with 2 strikeouts at the plate. 2 runs allowed in 2 innings pitched.
2) 1965. 0 for 3 at the plate. 5 ER in 1.2 IP by Jim Maloney.
3) 2011. 0 for 6 with 4 strikeouts.
4) 1977. 2 for 12 with 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 HR. Five all-world guys should've done better with all those at-bats. And Seaver gave up 3 runs in 2 IP.
5) 1981. 0 for 5. Solo HR allowed in 1 IP.
Honorable mention to 1970 at Riverfront...if it weren't for Rose scoring the winning run, the Reds going 1 for 9 in the game would've been an embarrassment.

2) Ted Kluszewski. 7 for 14
3) Frank Robinson. 5 for 12
