The Cincinnati Reds teams of the mid-1970’s, known as “The Big Red Machine”, were one of the greatest baseball dynasties since the Murderer’s Row Yankees of the 1920s. Led by Joe Morgan, a two-time NL MVP, his fellow Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, and baseball’s hit king Pete Rose, the Reds won World Series titles in 1975 and 1976, as well as winning pennants in 1970 and 1972. This flag commemorates the Sparky Anderson managed 1975 Reds team, which finished the regular season with a record of 108-54. In the playoffs, the Reds knocked out the Pittsburgh Pirates in three games before handling the Red Sox in seven. Joe Morgan was the National League MVP this season, Pete Rose eclipsed the 200 hit mark for the seventh time, and Johnny Bench paced the team with 28 home runs.

     This flag, which measures 48 x 30 inches at its widest dimensions, features a large Reds wishbone “C” logo and red text that reads “1975 World Champs”. It is double sided and one side has been autographed by the Hall of Famers Morgan, Bench, and Perez, while other signatures include Rose, Davey Concepcion, Cesar Geronimo, Ken Griffey Sr., George Foster, Dan Gullett, Rawley Eastwick, Fred Norman, and Will McEnaney. The signatures have been written in black marker and this item comes with a LOA from JSA (Z58614).
