	@MovieDynamic: That's why there are so many other Sporcle categories! :-)

	If you don't care about sports then don't click on the sports quizzes. There's lots of quizzes that aren't about sports.

	This is a very baseball-centric quiz. ;)

	I am so happy to see this quiz. Now if the Reds of today could be close to as good as the reds of yesteryear.

	whats the bonus answer?

	Etheridge2:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 05:40 GMT		3 points
	took me a while for geronimo but i got the rest pretty quick i am guessing the bonus answer is gullett or driessen

	It certainly helped that I did a speech on the BRM in college.

	There aren't many new quizzes anymore that I get on the first try in under a minute. I like this one ;)

	JoshT:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 11:42 GMT		5 points
	I like this quiz. Including more of the roster would be great. Quizzes for other famous baseball teams would be fun as well: 1927 Yankees or the 1973-75 A's an so on.

	cocky:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 12:18 GMT		3 points
	Sparky Anderson is the bonus.

	Mike Geiselman:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 12:43 GMT		2 points
	I knew them all but was worried about spelling Concepcion right.

	drza:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 13:22 GMT		1 point
	I love sporcle quizzes that I get 100% on. I got the first 7 answers as fast as I could type them then looked up and was missing 1b and put Dreissen,then changed the spelling,panicked when it didnt come up and then said oh yeah Eduardo Perez's father

	ChanandlerBong:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 13:22 GMT		5 points
	I was hoping a bonus answer would be Kane... :(

	Sabo:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 13:49 GMT		11 points
	What a team ... three HOFers (Bench, Morgan and Perez), one that should be in the HOF (Concepcion), another that would be in the HOF if he wasn't a complete moron (Rose) and another who hit 52 home runs in 1977 (Foster). Griffey wasn't a slouch either, and Geronimo was an excellent defensive CF.

	Booger:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 14:48 GMT		4 points
	Nice quiz. It would be great to see some of the pitchers as bonus answers at least. They had an amazing team ERA of 3.51 that year.

	tcalleen:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 15:48 GMT		-1 points
	For some reason, I always want to list Tug McGraw as a member of the Reds, but I don't know why. I don't think that's 76 though.

	fsuseminoles92:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 16:00 GMT		3 points
	This is about the only way my Reds get attention today.

	mister_pianoman:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 16:35 GMT		2 points
	i can't believe i forgot the LF...

	cocky:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 16:36 GMT		5 points
	@drza-Thanks for making feel old by calling Tony Perez "Eduardo's father".

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 17:11 GMT		4 points
	Booger, that "amazing" team ERA was...worse than league average.

	Loppy:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 17:43 GMT		3 points
	NICE QUIZ harvyey's wallbangers '82 are next

	Booger:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 17:46 GMT		1 point
	@ Nuclear Knuckles: You are wrong. The Reds had the 5th best team ERA in the league that year, and Gullett, one of their best pitchers if not their best, was injured for much of the year.

	drza:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 18:24 GMT		3 points
	Sorry Cocky, I was making a joke when I said it but in reality I wasn't even a year old at the beginning of the 1976 season,so you have every right to feel old :).........League avg ERA in 1976 was 3.50 so technically they were worse than league average by a whole .01

	drza:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 18:27 GMT		6 points
	Heres an amazing thing to realize. Eventhough this is the lineup everyone remembers that year and all 8 of them played in at least 135 games,they were all in the lineup together just 42 times. Basically if you watched a game that year you had a 1 in 4 chance of seeing all 8 of them at once

	Great quiz, and great team. Yeah the pitching over the course of the season was league average, but the top of their rotation and bullpen were terrific. That's more important in the postseason than anything. Also... Seriously dude? You're going on a quiz you have no interest in to complain that its not about a subject you care about? On a website that provides a lot of entertainment entirely without charge? 8 of the 33 new quizzes are on the front page are about sports. So I suppose you have a point about them being overwhelmingly about sports, so long as we ignore the definition of overwhelm.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jan 31st, 2009 at 23:27 GMT		0 points
	Booger, please clarify what I said was wrong. If you think 5th best out of 12 is "amazing," you must want to give everyone an MVP award just for showing up.

	MovieDynamic: From what I understand, Sporcle originated as a sports-related website. And most of the time, there's only one sports quiz made each day (usually out of 4 or 5). Whether you like it or not, sports are a huge part of today's culture, not just in America, but across the world. And if it bothers you that much, then you don't have to go to Sporcle.

	Red Stockings = Original baseball team. My Reds are good for something!

	retsyn:	Feb 2nd, 2009 at 19:42 GMT		3 points
	i missed one, and the bonus... my father would be shaking his head right now if he knew.

	4 minutes is way too much time for this.

	i can't believe i missed Griffey

	Nitram_Odarp:	Jun 10th, 2009 at 01:43 GMT		3 points
	Got seven of them right away. Had no idea who the CF was, though, so I basically just started entering in random names until time ran out.

	deej:	Jun 30th, 2009 at 05:59 GMT		-3 points
	This was a pretty good team, but I maintain that top to bottom, the 1995 indians were the best offensive club ever: c-Sandy Alomar, 1B-Eddie Murray, 2B-Carlos Baerga, 3B-Jim Thome, SS-Omar Vizquel, LF-Albert Belle, CF-Kenny Lofton, RF-Manny Ramirez
