"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)
