The Big Red Machine was an amalgam of perhaps the single most baseball talent the modern game of baseball has ever seen, at least offensively. For nearly a decade, they bashed and clobbered their competition, rolling out a set of regulars featuring four Hall of Famers, and for a good bit of that time none of those four were the team’s best defender - bless your bounce throws, Davey - nor the team’s biggest thumper - bless those sideburns, George.
They won a pair of World Series titles, which we all know. What gets somewhat buried, I think, is that from 1972 to 1979 they only once won fewer than 90 games, and even that was an 88 win season.
