when did the reds last won a world series?
1990
bullet::::9. the cincinnati reds were the only national league team to sweep any world series between 1963 and 2012, sweeping their last two series appearances to date in 1976 and 1990. when added to their game 7 victory in 1975, this means that the reds have won their last 9 consecutive world series games, the longest active winning streak in terms of consecutive world series games won. the reds are also to date the only team since the inception of the league championship series (lcs) in 1969 to sweep the entire postseason. the 1976 "big red machine" swept the philadelphia phillies in the national league lcs in three games, and then swept the new york yankees in the world series in four games. the longest ever streak of consecutive world series games won is 14 by the new york yankees, who won four straight games to win the 1996 world series after losing the first two games of that series, then swept their next two world series appearances in 1998 and 1999, and then won the first two games of the 2000 world series before losing the third game of that series to the new york mets.

bullet::::6. there have been 19 world series four-game (4–0) sweeps, the most recent of which occurred in 2012. nine teams have swept a world series at least once, the yankees having done so most often (8 times). the red sox, reds, and giants have all done it twice. the braves, orioles, white sox, dodgers, and athletics have each swept one series. six of these teams (all but the orioles, red sox and white sox) have also been swept 0–4 in at least one world series. the red sox' two world series sweeps are the most of any team that has never been swept in one. the reds and yankees are the only teams to have swept each other (the yankees swept the reds in 1939, while the reds swept the yankees in 1976). the giants are the only team to record world series sweeps in two cities: new york (1954) and san francisco (2012). the 1999 yankees are the last team to date, and the only one since 1966, to sweep a world series it began on the road. the 1963 dodgers are the last national league team to date to sweep a world series it began on the road.
