As a native Cincinnatian, this is certainly a treat to witness...

[@elvisfan6475]

The Greatest baseball team ever And 1975 too. The Big Red Machine.

[@paulhubrich3655]

I was born in 1963 in Cincinnati. I got to grow up watching The Big Red Machine. I used to immulate them while playing baseball in the back yard. Lee May, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Bobby Tolen, Tony Perez, Davey Concepcion, Joe Morgan, Cesar Geronimo. How lucky was I? Priceless

[@danielhorstman7097]

The best team ever!

[@norobbery]

David Concepcion should be in the MLB Hall of Fame.

[@AnthonyMancuso-pt4ru]

One of special moments of anyone born in the 1960s is growing up with this team. Taught us all how to play..and win

[@tppwttiger2244]

I might be a Bengal fan. But I am not a Reds fan. But this is the best team ever. I don’t care how many World Series the Yankees has won. This is the best assemble team ever. The Reds had the best Catcher ever before Ivan Rodriguez arrived. One of the best first baseman in the National League. Best second baseman in baseball, best Shortstop in baseball. Best left fielder in the National League. Best defensive Center fielder in baseball. The 2 best prospects in Griffey and Driessen. This team was loaded with Super starts. And in top of that they have the best baseball player in history which to me is Pete Rose! So there were the Reds and Pete Rose. The goat!

[@alan30189]

Geronimo also batted over .300 and had a Gold Glove. He was probably the best all-around centerfielder in the league. The Reds had everything. Great starting pitching, great relief pitching, great hitting with five .300+ hitters, great power hitting, great speed, great defense, and the best manager in baseball! They had four Gold Glove Award winners up the middle of the field, in Bench, Concepción, Morgan, and Geronimo. It simply doesn’t get any better than that. As for Bench, he was better than Rodriguez. It’s not all about hitting and catching. It’s about calling a game, and Bench was the best at it. Plus, he had a high percentage in throwing people out, stealing second, and that was when the infield’s were mostly Astroturf. You could get from 1st to 2nd a lot quicker then. If Bench played today, with all the dirt base-paths, he’d probably throw out about 90% of them.

How blessed was we to have witnessed this team.

[@GraysonHelton-ef3ii]

I love the reds in 1976 they were unstoppable

[@MissAmazanda]

Don Gullet had a brother that used to live in my apartment complex, seems like Don was the pitching coach for a long time after he stopped playing ...

[@FerrellKatz]

RIP Mr. Gullett.

[@davidrice3337]

Love the Big Red Machine- Coolest names ever- Rose, Morgan , Perez, Griff , Concepcion , Bench, - Rawly Eastwick? If that ain't a ballplayer's name then Billy Martin never thru a punch Caesar Geronimo ! George Foster ! Oh hell yea- And of course everybody loved Sparky - Broke my 9 yr old heart when they traded Perez

[@darrinlindsey]

I was looking forward to the video of Joe Morgan.

[@aaronwilliams6989]

Disappointing. Cool video,though.

[@ShawnC.T.]

R.I.P. Don Gullett & Pat Zachery...🙏🏼🕊

[@tomjones2202]

I would love to have seen Pete Rose in a managers position,,, I think we missed out on something GREAT.

[@marcyfan]
