Obviously was churned put quickly after the Reds won the World Series, still an easy and fun read. 1976 publication date is also fun as it talks about Pete Rose as a childhood idol and also mentions Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis, years before his presidential run!

It was fun to read about the 1975 Reds’ World Championship. I have fond memories of staying up late to watch Game 6. It was my junior year of high school. Bob Hertzel wrote about several stories from the series I had not heard about. Hard to believe it’s been 50 years.
