1993 Cincinnati Reds season

The 1993 Cincinnati Reds season was the 124th season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, their 24th and 23rd full season at Riverfront Stadium and the team's last as members of the National League West. The Reds failed to improve on their record of 90–72 from 1992 and finished in fifth place in 1993, with a 73–89 record. The team introduced new uniforms, being the last in MLB to abandon the 1970s/80s pullover jersey/beltless pants combo; the new look reintroduced sleeveless vests and a pinstriped cap; this look would hold until 1998.[1][2]

Major League Baseball's executive council decided to prevent owner Marge Schott from exercising day-to-day oversight of the Reds during the 1993 season, while still leaving major financial decisions to her.[3] This was a response to several November 1992 accounts of Schott racially and ethnically slurring players and business associates, and praising the early efforts of Adolf Hitler.[3]
