The Frankish Reich Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 2 hours ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...RIP Joe...the memorable days of the "Big Red Machine"....... ..."The starting lineup of Bench, Rose, Morgan, Pérez, Concepción, Foster, Griffey, and Gerónimo (collectively referred to as the "Great Eight") played 88 games together during the 1975 and 1976 seasons, losing only 19...".... I didn't realize just how dominant that lineup was -- 69-19? You gotta be kidding me. That's a .784 winning percentage. There was no rest for the opposing pitcher 1-8 in that lineup. And everyone except Perez and Bench could run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine what they went through. Interesting however. I asked my 95 year old mom what it was like during WWII. We look at it through the comfy lens of history. I asked was she ever afraid of an invasion. She said “no, the only thing that scared me was polio.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
