Cincinnati: Great American Ballpark - "The Great Eight"
"The Great Eight"
The 1975 Cincinnati Reds, which many consider to be the greatest starting eight in the history of the game, capped off a franchise best 108-54 regular season record with a sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Championship Series. The team then topped the Boston Red Sox in one of the most famous World Series ever played. A memorable 12th-inning home run by Boston's Carlton Fisk in Game 6 was overshadowed by a come-from-behind victory in the seventh game by the Reds, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit with a two-run omer by Tony Perez and a game-winning single by league MVP Joe Morgan.
