cincinnati reds History

The Major League Baseball club Cincinnati Reds are based out of Cincinnati, Ohio and play in the National League's Central Division. The franchise was founded in 1882 as one of the American Association's charter members. The team was called the Cincinnati Red Stockings. In 1890 Cincinnati joined the National League.

Cincinnati has won the World Series five times. Their last title was in 1990 when they defeated the Oakland Athletics. In addition, the Red have won the National League pennant nine times, with their first victory coming in 1919. From 1969 to 1993 the Reds were members of the National League West. Since 1994, they have played in the National League's Central Division.

The Cincinnati Reds since 2003 have played their home games in Great American Ball Park which was constructed next to Riverfront Stadium, which had been their home ball park since 1970. The Red were bought by Bob Castellini in 2006. Dusty Baker was hired to become the Reds manager in 2008 along with general manager Walt Jocketty.

The greatest success for the Cincinnati Reds came during the 1970s when they were known as “the Big Red Machine.” The Reds, led by manager Sparky Anderson and star players such as Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tony Perez and Joe Morgan, won four National League pennants (1970, 1972, 1975, 1976) and two World Series titles (1975, 1976) during this time.
