Pete Rose with Others

(Original Caption) Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench (L-R) will be the key to the Reds well-balanced attack when they meet the Pirates in the first game of the National League playoffs at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh 10/7. Rose failed by 2 to reach the 200 mark in hits but he led the league in that departement. Morgan proved to be invaluable with his all-around play while Bench led the League with 40 homers.
