Cincinnati Reds Postseason History

Earning the nickname the Big Red Machine based on their strong performances in the postseason, the Cincinnati Reds have had plenty of success when the games have mattered most. Riding some of the best players of their generations through the playoffs, the Reds have won multiple championships and have been the best team in the league on multiple occasions.

The most successful period in Reds postseason history came when the team made the World Series in four years during a seven-year period. That period of time came from 1970 to 1976, and ended with the Reds winning back-to-back titles in 1975 and 1976. Those teams were full of Hall of Famers, but no two players were more influential to the Reds chances than Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench.

During that run of four World Series appearances, Morgan and Bench each won two Most Valuable Player awards, and were clearly at the top of the league in terms of talent. Bench also won World Series MVP honors when he hit .533 in the team’s four-game sweep of the New York Yankees. Given that a .300 batting average is considered a huge success in baseball, Bench’s ability to hit so well against the American League champions was simply astounding.

Also on those Reds teams was Pete Rose, who was a lifetime .321 hitter in the postseason. Rose earned World Series MVP honors in 1975, when he hit .370 over the course of the seven-game series, with a .485 on-base percentage. Rose piled up a ton of hits in his career, but none were more important than the ones in that series.

In terms of postseason rivalries, the Pittsburgh Pirates would be a natural choice for the Reds, given that the two teams are division opponents in the National League Central. They met several times in the playoffs during the Reds’ run atop the National League, with the fact that they played each other so many times during the season only making the matchups more enjoyable. With both teams knowing so much about one another, there were no surprises as both teams tried to simply outplay the other.

What makes Cincinnati Reds postseason games special for fans?

Buying Cincinnati Reds postseason tickets isn’t just about attending another game—it’s about experiencing something bigger. Here’s what makes postseason special compared to the regular season, and why it’s worth securing tickets early:

• Higher stakes and intensity: Postseason Reds games are when every action counts. The pressure is on, the matchups more meaningful, and the atmosphere electric. If you want to see critical plays, clutch moments, and possibly history being made, this is where it happens.

• Scarcity and urgency: There are fewer postseason games, and demand shoots up fast. Premium seats fill up quickly. Buying tickets early means better choice in seating, avoiding inflated resale prices, and locking in your spot before the buzz drives them higher.

• Exclusive perks and priority: Ticket holders often get extras that regular-season attendees don’t always get: priority access to purchase playoff tickets (especially if you’re a season-ticket or membership holder), exclusive merchandise, special events, themed game nights, or upgraded amenities (parking, entrance, etc.).

• Memorable atmosphere and fan energy: The crowd is more invested, the media presence greater, and the tension more palpable. Postseason Reds games tend to be more electric—fans are louder, anticipation is higher, and the emotional payoff is bigger.

• Opportunity to witness defining moments: These are the Cincinnati Reds fans talk about for years. Comebacks, championships, career highlights—postseason is when legacies are built. If you want to be there for those moments, this is your chance.

• Better value in some cases: Even though the tickets might cost more, when balanced against what you get (intensity, perks, memorable experience), many fans find postseason Reds tickets fetch greater value per dollar compared to regular season games, especially when you consider resale value or experiential payoff.
