Building the Machine – Episode 6: A disappointment, not a dynasty

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 fourth 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.

If you haven’t listened to the first four episodes of Building the Machine, you can find them here:

Episode 1: The Origin Story
Episode 2: Sparky Arrives
Episode 3: The Reds Learn a Lesson
Episode 4: Welcome to Cincinnati, Joe Morgan
Episode 5: Close, but no cigar…again

And now, without further ado, enjoy Episode 6: A disappointment, not a dynasty, about the 1974 Cincinnati Reds.
