"The best book ever written about the Big Red Machine . . . You'll see Bench, Morgan, and Sparky in different lights than you've ever seen them before." —Cincinnati Enquirer
The New York Times–Bestseller
Award-winning sports columnist Joe Posnanski hits a grand slam with The Machine—a thrilling account of the magical 1975 season of the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's legendary "Big Red Machine," from spring training through the final game of the '75 World Series. Featuring a Hall of Fame lineup of baseball superstars—including Johnny Bench, George Foster, Joe Morgan, Cesar Geronimo, and "Charlie Hustle" Pete Rose himself—The Machine is a wild ride with one of the greatest baseball teams in the history of the American Pastime.
"One of the best sportswriters in America offers a definitive account of the 1975 Cincinnati Reds. [His] conversational style brings to life a great season." —The Washington Times
"A fun, engaging, and fascinating look at one of baseball's all-time great teams." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Posnanski offers an eloquent reminder that the great Cincinnati Reds teams—especially the '75 Reds—deserve a place of prominence in our memory, same as this book demands a place of prominence on your shelf." —New York Post
"If you like baseball you will love this book. If you don't like baseball you will wonder how you could not like baseball when a book about the game is so entertaining . . . The writing in this book is inviting, the storytelling magical, and the detail fanatical." —Augusta Chronicle (Georgia)
