Our featured team is the best in the history of the Cincinnati Reds: the 1975 Reds, known as The Big Red Machine that won 108 games and the World Series vs Boston. In this podcasting experiment, we compared this 1975 club with the 2021 Reds as we watched them play the Dodgers live in Dodger Stadium today. Competing with the noise of the game we quote words of Vin Scully & Ralph Waldo Emerson. We think Emerson & baseball players do similar (transcendental) work.
