BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK MVP’s were Cincinnati Reds for THREE (3) straight seasons: 1938, 1939, and 1940 👀
Back-to-Back World Series appearances in 1939 and 1940, with a World Series win in 1940.
Ernie Lombardi (1938 MVP) had the most career hits, home runs, and RBI’s ever in the NL for a catcher when he retired.
Bucky Walters (1939 MVP) won the pitching triple crown (led the league in W, ERA, SO) and has an argument as the best pitcher in Cincinnati Reds history.
Frank McCormick (1940 MVP) led the league in hits (1938-1940)
While the Big Red Machine may hold the title as the best in team history (with a strong argument for MLB history) the 1938-1940 Cincinnati Reds had a truly unbelievable run with a roster of all-time greats.
