If you're old enough, you may remember the great Cincinnati Reds teams of the 1970s. Led by the likes of Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and Pete Rose, The Big Red Machine made four trips to the World Series ('70, '72, '75, '76) and fell short in two other seasons in which they made the NLCS (73, 79). With so many playoff appearances in a short period of time, it must have been easy for Reds fans to take those special years for granted.
