No doubt that the Big Red Machine was a great team, but they sure were surprised by th 1972 A's.

The 72-74 A's were supremely underrated. Their stats weren't gaudy, but they knew how to win the close games. IMHO, Catfish Hunter was one of the greatest "money" pitchers in major league history.

I see where Dan Driessen is going into the Reds’ Hall of Fame during this season. That is questionable. But why isn't Fred Norman in the Hall? Other than Pete Rose, he is the only real extended contributor not in the team's Hall. He was as consistent as they came.
