Davey Concepcion 13. Brandon Phillips What can I say? The Big Red Machine is the foundation of my childhood love of baseball, and for this young lad they did not disappoint. No unit of players for me has or can ever replace the excitement that the '75/'76 Reds brought. They dominated the National League from 1970-1976. They are widely recognized as being among the best teams in history. Over that span they won five National League West Division titles, four National League pennants, and two World Series titles, and averaged 98 wins per season. They spoiled me because for my entire pre-teen days, they were the most awesome team in baseball. What more could a kid ask for from their favorite team?

April 28, 201412 yr Funny I have yet to see a Cal Ripken JR. I forgot about him, but loved watching him play
April 28, 201412 yr I was always a HUGE fan of Vladdy Guerrero. Ken Griffey Junior is probably my all-time favorite. During the 90's, I was a Chris Sabo fan. I even bought some Rec-Specs for the backyard, even though I didn't need glasses.
