Very cool piece from the latest issue of Sports Illustrated.
Titled "Welcome to the Machine", it's an excerpt from the upcoming Joe Posnanski book "The Machine: A Hot Team, a Legendary Season, and a Heart-stopping World Series: The Story of the 1975 Cincinnati Reds".
Not a Reds fan necessarily, but I found interesting this very solid writing about a the pretty incredible batting lineup below:
1. Pete Rose, 3B
2. Ken Griffey, RF
3. Joe Morgan, 2B
4. Johnny Bench, C
5. Tony Perez, 1B
6. George Foster, LF
7. Davey Concepcion, SS
8. Cesar Geronimo, CF
