Jesse, did you know that before Mark Koenig played in Cincinnati, he was a member of the famed Murder's Row from the 1927 New York Yankees?
Basically, it was a combination of:
Earle Combs in center
Mark Koenig at short
Babe Ruth in right
Lou Gehrig at first
Bob Meusel in left
Tony Lazzeri at second
They had a couple guys playing catcher and third base. But that first six hitters in the lineup were just murder on opposing pitchers. The '27 Yankees were 110-44. They swept the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 in the World Series.

No doubt! I just saw that. Some really great color, especially when you consider how long that baby has been in circulation.
