context: Title: 1975 Cincinnati Reds season
  Passage: The 1975 Cincinnati Reds season was a season in American baseball.  The season saw the Reds attempting to improve on their previous output of 98–64.  The Reds dominated the league all season, and won the National League West with a record of 108–54, best record in MLB and finished 20 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The Reds went on to win the National League Championship Series by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in three straight games, and the World Series in seven games over the Boston Red Sox.  The Reds were managed by Sparky Anderson and played their home games at Riverfront Stadium.  It was the first World Series championship for Cincinnati since 1940.  The 1975 Reds are one of the few teams to consistently challenge the 1927 Yankees, what some people call the best in baseball history, for the title for the best team in MLB history.  Some sources consider the 1975 Reds the greatest team to ever play baseball.  According to some sources, a lot of them put the 1927 Yankees ahead of the '75 Reds.  The Reds went 64–17 at home in 1975.  That is the best ever home record by a national league team and the second best in baseball history behind only the 1961 Yankees who went 65–16 at home that year.  The Reds also set the major league record for most consecutive wins to ever close out a half with 10, when they went into the all star break on a 10 game winning streak.  The 840 runs scored by the Reds in 1975 were the most in the league that season, and their +254 run differential was also the best in the league.  The Reds were also the only team in the National League to have a winning record on the road, going 44–37.
  Title: Dizzy Dean
  Passage: Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean (January 16, 1910 – July 17, 1974), also known as Jerome Herman Dean, was an American professional baseball player.  He played in Major League Baseball as a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Browns.  A brash and colorful personality, Dean was the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in one season.  After his playing career, he became a popular television sports commentator.  Dean was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953.  When the Cardinals reopened the team Hall of Fame in 2014, Dean was inducted among the inaugural class.
  Title: Bill Pounds
  Passage: Jeared Wells "Bill" Pounds (March 11, 1878 – July 7, 1936) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball.  He appeared in just two major league games, one each for Cleveland and Brooklyn in 1903, but the only surviving images of him in a major league uniform show him with the New York Highlanders.  Bill Pounds was born in Paterson, New Jersey, and had a long career as a minor league pitcher.  His professional career began in 1899 when he pitched for both Binghamton and Paterson.  After a year out of organized baseball, he played in 1901 and 1902 for two Ilion and Utica in the New York State League.  After reportedly signing a contract to return to Utica for 1903, he was signed by Cleveland in the American League and was on their Opening Day roster.  Pounds was brought in to pitch on May 2 in the fourth inning in Chicago when the White Stockings had opened up a big lead; he gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits in the 16-6 loss.  On May 18 he was released by Cleveland and was signed shortly thereafter by the New York Highlanders.  Pounds was in uniform with the team when the Highlanders visited Chicago for a series May 20–22.  A photographer from the Chicago Daily News was taking pictures of the players on the teams visiting both the American League and National League ballparks, and during this visit Pounds had his image preserved for posterity.  Before the end of the month, without having appeared in a game for New York, Pounds was sent back to Cleveland, apparently because he could not come to terms on a contract.  On June 4 he was signed by Brooklyn of the National League, but he did not appear in a game until June 30.  With Pittsburg ahead 12-0 after three innings, Pounds was sent in to pitch.  He allowed five runs (four earned) in six innings on eight hits and two walks in the 17-8 loss, and gave up a long home run to Honus Wagner.  On July 3, his contract was transferred to Baltimore of the Eastern League, along with that of Hughie Jennings and three other Dodgers.  Pounds would never appear in another major league game; though his pitching record was unimpressive, he finished with a lifetime batting record of three hits in five at-bats.  Late in the 1903 season, his contract was purchased by Denver, but it is unclear whether he actually played in Colorado.  For the remainder of his minor-league career, from 1904 through 1911, he pitched for teams within a couple of hundred miles of his birth—four teams in the New York State League and two in the Tri-State League.  In the off-seasons he would sometimes pitch for the Paterson Elks team, and he continued to pitch for them after his minor-league career had ended.  According to The Sporting Life, “Pounds has speed and a rather good assortment of curves.  He has not the best control in the world.”  A few years after his career had ended, the Utica Observer described him in this way: “Bill Pounds was the champion sweater of the league.  He perspired so much that…a miniature lake (formed) around the slab.”  He died in 1936 in the city of his birth, aged 58.  Early in the 21st century, the photographic archives of the Chicago Daily News were posted online.  Although his teammates’ photographs were easily identified, the image of Pounds remained unidentified, or occasionally misidentified as Doc Adkins, for at least a decade.
  Title: Win Mercer
  Passage: George Barclay "Win" Mercer (June 20, 1874 – January 12, 1903) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball from 1894 to 1902.  Born in Chester, West Virginia, he played primarily with the National League Washington Senators (1894–1899), winning 20 games twice with the club.  He also played with the New York Giants (1900), the American League Washington Senators (1901), and the Detroit Tigers (1902).  Mercer led the National League in games started (41), shutouts (3), and saves (3) in 1897.  He holds the interesting record of most stolen bases (nine) by a pitcher in one season.  His career record of 251 complete games ranks No. 77 in Major League history.
  Title: List of St. Louis Cardinals seasons
  Passage: The St. Louis Cardinals, a professional baseball franchise based in St. Louis, Missouri, compete in the National League (NL) of Major League Baseball (MLB).  Founded in 1882 as a charter member of the American Association (AA), the team was originally named the Brown Stockings before it was shortened to Browns the next season.  The team moved to the National League in 1892 when the AA folded.  The club changed its name to the Perfectos for one season in 1899 and adopted the Cardinals name in 1900.  The St. Louis Cardinals are tied with the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates as the third-oldest continuously-operated baseball team.  In that time, the team has won 19 National League pennants and 11 World Series championships (most in the National League and second only to the New York Yankees, who have won 27).  They also won four American Association pennants and one pre-World Series championship that Major League Baseball does not consider official.

  Title: John Smoltz
  Passage: John Andrew Smoltz (born May 15, 1967), nicknamed "Smoltzie" and "Marmaduke," is an American former baseball pitcher who played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball from 1988 to 2009, all but the last year with the Atlanta Braves.  An eight-time All-Star, Smoltz was part of a celebrated trio of starting pitchers, along with Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, who propelled Atlanta to perennial pennant contention in the 1990s, highlighted by a championship in the 1995 World Series.  He won the National League (NL) Cy Young Award in 1996 after posting a record of 24–8, equaling the most victories by an NL pitcher since 1972.  Though predominantly known as a starter, Smoltz was converted to a reliever in 2001 after his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and spent four years as the team's closer before returning to a starting role.  In 2002, he set the NL record with 55 saves and became only the second pitcher in history (joining Dennis Eckersley) to record both a 20-win season and a 50-save season.  He is the only pitcher in major league history to record both 200 wins and 150 saves.
  Title: 1976 Cincinnati Reds season
  Passage: The 1976 Cincinnati Reds season was a season in American baseball.  The Reds entered the season as the reigning world champs and they looked to improve upon their MLB best 108–54 record in 1975.  Despite not improving on their record, the Reds still dominated the league all season, and won their second consecutive National League West title with a record of 102–60, beat record in MLB and finished 10 games ahead of the runner-up Los Angeles Dodgers.  They went on to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1976 National League Championship Series in three straight games, and then win their second consecutive World Series title in four straight games over the New York Yankees.  They were the third and most recent National League team to achieve this distinction, and the first since the 1921–22 New York Giants.  The Reds drew 2,629,708 fans to their home games at Riverfront Stadium, an all-time franchise attendance record.  The Reds went 49–32 at home and 53–28 on the road in 1976.  The 76 Reds are considered by many as one of the greatest baseball teams ever to play.  The Reds scored 857 runs in 1976, easily the most in the league that season.  Their +224 run differential was also the best in the league in 1976.  As of 2017, the Reds are the only team in baseball history to sweep through an entire postseason since the addition of divisions.  The Reds went 7–0 in postseason play in 1976.
