Which is the greatest Reds team of all-time and more. I searched under best greatest reds team ever all-time and found nothing, but if this topic has been covered before in a fan post please let me know and I will pull this post.
The Reds have had some excellent teams in their history so I am posting this question for discussion and a poll to vote on here. Which year's Reds team is the greatest in your opinion? Also, which Reds team is your favorite, the best one you've seen in your lifetime and which team deserves honorable mention as near-great because they lost in the playoffs or series and thus are not considered "great."?
Hope this generates some good discussion for I am interested in learning what you all think and reading your insights. Thanks in advance for sharing and discussing. :)

1976
You could say 1975, but I think the ‘76 team was better. I don’t the other Series winning teams are even close.
Why have I been blogging for so long? It's certainly not because of the paycheck. Because I could be making a lot more money as a doctor or a professional athlete.

There aren't too many other teams EVER, for any franchise
that are close to those Reds of the 70’s.

75 or 76 are the best ever
Joe Posnanski will have a book out next spring on the 75 Reds.
My personal favorite from my lifetime were the 1999 club. I really think they could have taken the 1990 team (unless Rijo were in his October mode).

who was the goober that voted for '90!?
it really is a battle between ‘75 & ’76, and either way you can’t go wrong.

How did they get a copy of my drivers license?

I love how under "Sex:", it says "YES"
What most people call rape, the Burger King calls “having it his way”.

Same here.
I was 4 years old in 1990, and I barely remember the ’99 team outside of the one game playoff. The majority of my Reds fandom has been in the 2000s, which… sucks for me.
On a completely unrelated note, your Mizzou basketball team could be decent this year. I watched them play Xavier today (they lost of course), and they gave us a great game.

No love for the 2006 team?
Just kidding. Voted for ’76.

Also
The people who make the Aflac trivia questions would definitely go for the 1940 team. Ernie Lombardi, Frank McCormick, Johnny Vander Meer, Bucky Walters, AND Paul Derringer? Stacked!

Frank Robinson and Eppa Rixey would like a word with you

I'm just shocked that Ewell Blackwell had nothing to do with that team

Eppa Rixey ended up starting an ionsurance company and Robby was run out of town for being uppity
The greatest team was the 1976 BRM.
Period.

None of the above.
1869. 81 consecutive victories.
More, more, more ....... how do you like it?

I wonder what the 1869 players would think of baseball now....
gloves, big basket gloves and not catching the ball barehanded…… modern ballparks….. elctronic scoreboards, the DH (ugh), pitching overhand, 100mph fastballs, huge paychecks…. a totally different game for sure….. Yeah, should’ve included the 1869 Reds….. truly the greatest club of its era….
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.-Rogers Hornsby
