October 21, 1976: The Big Red Machine completed its sweep of the Yankees in the World Series with a 7-2 victory at Yankee Stadium. Johnny Bench hit two homers in the game and drove in five runs. His World Series performance earned him Series MVP honors. The 1976 Reds are the only team in major league history to go undefeated through an entire postseason.

Fifty years ago today, @JohnnyBench_5 and the Big Red Machine became back-to-back champs. The World Series MVP knocked two hits in each game – including a pair of homers in Game 4 – to power Cincinnati’s sweep. ow.ly/9G1U50ZZPJs

On this date in 1972, @JohnnyBench_5’s solo homer ignited a ninth-inning rally that would take its place among the many memorable moments authored by the Big Red Machine. ow.ly/lzFS50ZWFCV

September 17, 1983: A sell-out crowd of 53,790 fans packed into Riverfront Stadium on Johnny Bench Night. Bench thrilled the crowd in the third inning by connecting for a home run. The round-tripper was the 389th and final home run of his Hall of Fame career and still stands as the Reds’ career franchise record. Today In Reds History is presented by @PNCBank

The telegram Yogi Berra sent me when I broke his home run record. “I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE RECORD WOULD STAND UNTIL IT WAS BROKEN.”

When Johnny Bench passed Yogi Berra as the catcher with the most home runs in history, the Yankees great sent his congratulations as only he could: “I always thought the record would stand until it was broken.” ow.ly/qelw50ZnKxb

If there was one player who left the weekend looking every bit like a future top pick, it was Vahn Lackey. The @GTBaseball catcher showed off exactly why it’s so easy to be enamored with his profile 👏 More here: buff.ly/dWxeqYA
