Originally known as the Cincinnati Red Stockings, the Cincinnati Reds left the fledgling American Association and joined the National League in 1890. It was at that time that the franchise shortened its name to just the Cincinnati Reds, the moniker that has stayed with the team since. The team floated around mediocrity for several years later; it wasn't until 1919 that the team was able to win their first NL Pennant. They were matched up against the Chicago White Sox in the World Series, and were able to win the best of nine series in eight games giving them their first title.
Like almost everything in the US, the Cincinnati Reds were affected by the Great Depression. In 1931 the team went bankrupt, and their future was in jeopardy. But after being bought out of bankruptcy by Powel and Lewis Crosley, the Cincinnati Reds franchise persevered. By the close of the decade the Cincinnati Reds were in the World Series two consecutive years, where they were swept by the New York Yankees in 1939, but in 1940 they captured their second title defeating Detroit Tigers in seven games.
Perhaps no era in the history of the Cincinnati Reds has been more recognizable as the 1970's and the Big Red Machine. Under the guidance of Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson, the Cincinnati Reds started the decade with a 102-60 record and reached the World Series. They were overmatched by the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series dropping it five games, but with most of the core nucleus still in tact, it wouldn't be their last time in the series. After a disappointing 1971 season, the Cincinnati Reds regrouped behind a powerful line up consisting of players like Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Pete Rose. They returned to the series in '72, losing to the Oakland Athletics in seven hard fought games, but in 1975 the fortunes of the Cincinnati Reds changed. Facing the Boston Red Sox, the Cincinnati Reds were able to capture their first world championship in 35 years. They repeated the feat the following year by dominating the New York Yankees in a four game sweep.
The 2008 season the Cincinnati Reds hope to return to glory with new manager Dusty Baker, find hard to get Cincinnati Reds tickets on TicketNetwork, your source to find the best selection of Cincinnati Reds tickets!
