Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are an American professional baseball team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. As a member of Major League Baseball, they compete in the Central Division of the National League. The Cincinnati Reds organization was officially established in 1881 as an independent club and became a charter member of the American Association in 1882. The team later joined the National League in 1890. The club traces its origins back to the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, widely recognized as baseball's first all-professional team, which disbanded in 1870.
