The 1961 Reds were not the "The Big Red Machine". That name is reserved for the 1973-76 teams.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, they were just getting used to being called the "Reds" again due to the communist scare of the 50's. They were known as the Reds, so for a time they used they named Red Legs-also not to be confused with the Red Stockings, later the Red Sox of Boston.
