Details the 1972 World Series between the Oakland A's and the Cincinnati Reds!

This World Series featured some all-time great players:

  • Johnny Bench, probably the all-time best catcher in Major League Baseball!
  • All-time MLB hits leader and Reds great, Pete Rose.
  • One of the best 2nd basemen ever, and a personal favorite of mine, the Reds Joe Morgan.
  • The backbone of the A’s pitching staff, the great Catfish Hunter!
  • The guy who invented the term “closer”…the great A’s reliever, Rollie Fingers!
  • The fantastic fielding of the great A’s Left Fielder, Joe Rudi!
  • World Series heroics by Gene Tenace! Who’s he? Listen and find out!
