The readers speak



One week ago today, this page asked you to log onto Cincinnati.com and vote on a list of dramatic finishes involving local teams. We also encouraged you to nominate your favorites.

A careful review of last week's page didn't reveal instructions for you to call us morons for leaving some events off our list, but many of you did that, too. Without further ado, here are the results of our poll through Friday, and a list of honorable mentions provided by you, loyal reader.

223 votes (20.31 percent)

1975: Joe Morgan hits a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning to give the Reds a 4-3 victory in Game 7 of the World Series against Boston.

194 votes (17.67 percent)

1996: Xavier's Lenny Brown hits a jump shot at the buzzer over UC's Rodrick Monroe to give the Musketeers a 71-69 upset victory over the No. 1-ranked Bearcats at Shoemaker Center.

178 votes (16.21 percent)

1972: Reds catcher Johnny Bench hits a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie Pittsburgh 3-3 in Game 5 of the NLCS. The Reds win on a wild pitch by Bob Moose with pinch runner George Foster on third.
