A new 12-episode series from the gang at Redleg Nation Radio.
There is no baseball at the moment, so we are happy to present you with the tenth episode of our brand new series, Building the Machine. Over 12 weeks, we’re bringing you the story of the Big Red Machine, Cincinnati’s baseball dynasty that changed the game forever. Day by day, year by year, you’ll see how the Machine was constructed, all the highs and lows, and the legacy that remains.
