Cincinnati Reds free graph

The Cincinnati Reds are an American professional baseball team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Reds compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the National League Central division.  In 1876, Cincinnati became one of the charter members of the new National League, but the club ran afoul of league organizer and long-time president William Hulbert for selling beer during games (the horror!) and renting out their ballpark on Sundays.  Cincinnati president W. H. Kennett refused to sign a pledge to formally ban beer and Sunday baseball, so the other owners formally expelled Cincinnati!  When  attempts to form a new league failed, a new independent ball club known as the Red Stockings was formed in the Spring of 1881, and the team was brought to St. Louis for a weekend exhibition and eventually the American Association was formed.  The Cincinnati Red Stockings left the American Association on November 14, 1889 and joined the National League, changing their name from "Red Stockings" to simply "Reds."
