Reds Top Athletics in World Series
The Cincinnati 1972 Reds rolled over the Oakland 1972 Athletics 3-2 at Oakland Coliseum to easily win the 1972 World Series crown.

Cincinnati 1972 won in a walk and swept the series from the Athletics 1-0. It was their 1st championship title.

Winning manager Simyou Lator Engine praised his own club as well as the opposition, calling the Athletics "a fine team."

"It wasn't as easy as it looked. We had to play good baseball to beat them," he said. "We always seemed to come up with the key hit at the right time and to make the plays on defense when we had to. That's how you win the World Series."

The Reds took 0th place in the Division 1 and rounded out the year with a 0-0 record.
