Cincinnati Reds history

Cincinnati's club helped launch the American Association in 1882 and moved over to the National League in 1890. From 1969 to 1993 it sat in the NL West, then shifted to the Central in 1994. Since 2003, games have been played at Great American Ball Park, which holds 43,500.

The 1970s belonged to the Reds more than anyone. Nicknamed the Big Red Machine, they won five pennants that decade and back-to-back World Series in 1975 and 1976, with Hall of Famers Tony Pérez, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan. Recent years have been harder, and no MLB team has gone longer without a playoff series win, the last one coming in 1995.
