Making the Big Red Machine: Bob Howsam and the Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s

I loved this book about The Cincinnati Reds, I am from Cincinnati, As i was reading this book, i could see all these things that author was writing about in this great book, to myself it was reliving all the great days of Cincinnati Reds baseball all over again, I loved this great book, by reading this great book, you will learn about Cincinnati Reds baseball.

This book is not only for those of us who grew up with the Big Red Machine, but also for the new generation of baseball fans. The history of the players are discussed along with strategy behind the players. At the same time the book is a great primer for learning sports management techniques, in fact the leadership techniques can be used for any business. I highly recommend the book. Don't expect the to read the book like a novel, it is loaded with facts and information. I don't think there will ever be another team like the Big Red Machine!

Even if you are only a casual fan of the Big Red Machine, this is a great book to read! Everyone knows what the BRM did, but how they did it was always a great mystery. The author really brings out the character of the players and how their chemistry was created. I just wish the Reds dynasty had carried over throughout the 80's as well.

Very satisfied
