Team Offense: 1976
Team Pitching: 1976
1976 11 1975 5 --- tied through the position players (which, since they're all the same, is fitting) but the '76 team took the pitching matchups and then edged by their predecessors to take both totals.
The 1976 Cincinnati Reds Are the Greatest Team in the History of the National League
And there you have it. One matchup to go.
Tomorrow - for all the chips.
