With a line-up that included future Hall of Famers Johnny Bench,
Joe Morgan, Tony Perez and Pete Rose, the "Big Red Machine" powered
its way to six division titles, four pennants, and two World
Series, all in the 1970s. Three other times in that decade they
finished second in their division to the eventual pennant winner.
While much has been written about the players and manager
Sparky Anderson, no book until now has given adequate attention to
the man behind the Machine, general manager Bob Howsam. From his
hire in 1967 through the end of his first stint with the Reds in
1978, Howsam brought about a remarkable change in fortune for the
Reds, who had claimed only one pennant in the 26 years before his
arrival. This detailed history of baseball's last dynasty shows not
only how the team performed but why, delving into the off-field
strategy and moves behind the Reds' success.
