“And I can still name the starting eight for each year of the Big Red Machine of the 70’s.”

Pete Rose, Bobby Tolan, Tony Perez, Johnny Bench, Lee May, Tommy Helms, Woody Woodward, Bernie Carbo ....

I was a Big Red Machine fan also, haven’t watched a baseball game since the early 80’s either. A pity that America’s sport has become what it has become!

‘Pete Rose, Bobby Tolan, Tony Perez, Johnny Bench, Lee May, Tommy Helms, Woody Woodward, Bernie Carbo ....’

Followed by Bench, Perez, Morgan, Concepcion, Rose, Foster, Geronimo, and Griffey Senior.

Those were fun teams to watch.

And Hal King as the pinch hitter.

Pete Rose, Bobby Tolan, Tony Perez, Johnny Bench, Lee May, Tommy Helms, Woody Woodward, Bernie Carbo ....

How about the 50s Reds?

Roy McMillan, Johnny Temple, Ted Kluszewski, Smoky Burgess, forget who played 3d, Wally Post, Gus Bell, forget who played right.
