The Reds would not reach the 90-win plateau again until the 2010 season, when the team won the National League Central title with 91 victories. The 1999 team is regarded as one of the best teams not to make the playoffs. Since the switch to 162 game season in 1962, the Reds have the sixth-best record, only to not make the playoffs at 96-67.
