Reds Trivia 8/31/08

by Bill Lack on August 31st, 2008 in Reds Trivia

June 28, 1979: The Reds sell Ken Henderson to the Cubs, and trade Pedro Borbon to the Giants for Hector Cruz.

Angered by the trade, Borbon put a voodoo hex on the Reds. In Cincinnati for an old-timers game in 1990, Borbon removed the curse, and the Reds went on to win the world championship.

All “Reds trivia” posts come from Greg Rhodes and John Snyder’s fabulous book, “Redleg Journal” (see link for purchasing) and are used with Greg’s permission.

Thanks again to Greg Rhodes for permission to use his material.
