Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati · 1876–1880

This Cincinnati club was one of the eight that founded the National League in 1876 and lasted five seasons at 125-217, never finishing above fourth. It was expelled at the end of 1880, and the stated reasons were that it sold beer at its ground and rented the park out on Sundays, both of which the league had forbidden.

The modern Cincinnati Reds are a different club, founded in 1882, and this archive holds them separately. The expulsion of this one is part of why: the American Association formed in 1882 in direct response, allowing beer and Sunday baseball, and Cincinnati was one of its charter members.

Three Hall of Famers played here: Deacon White, King Kelly at the start of his career, and Candy Cummings, who is credited with inventing the curveball. Home was the Avenue Grounds and then the Bank Street Grounds.
