I remember when Elio Chacon scored the go-ahead run in the 5th. It was a very exciting, daring play. While it was technically a passed ball on Elston Howard, it appeared to me, an 8 year old at the time, that Chacon had stolen home. It was about the only play Reds fans were able to get excited about in this World Series.
