Cincinnati Reds: A Brief History

The Cincinnati Reds are one of the oldest teams in the league, having been established in 1881. They are members of the National League (NL) Central Division and currently play their home games at the Great American Ball Park, which opened on March 31, 2003. This venue has also hosted concerts by many popular stars, including Sir Paul McCartney, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean.

The team was formed as the Cincinnati Red Stockings before the name was changed to the Cincinnati Reds. After the 1953 season, the team's name was altered to the Cincinnati Redlegs before it was changed back to Cincinnati Reds in 1960. That year, the team did not perform up to expectations and failed to qualify for the playoffs. However, they bounced back a year later and not only made it to the postseason, but also appeared in the World Series, which they unfortunately lost to the New York Yankees, 4-1.

For the next eight seasons, the Cincinnati Reds failed to make the playoffs. They qualified for the World Series again in 1970 but lost to the Baltimore Orioles, 4-1. A couple of years later, they once again came close to winning the World Series title but lost the series to the Oakland Athletics, 4-3.

World Series Title Wins

The Cincinnati Reds won their first World Series championship when they defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 in 1919. They then captured their second World Series title when they emerged victorious against the Detroit Tigers in 1940. The team later went on to win three more World Series titles in 1975, 1976, and 1990 by defeating the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Oakland Athletics, respectively. The Big Red Machine has also won seven NL West Division titles and three NL Central Division titles.

The Rivalries

The Cincinnati Reds share historic rivalries with the Cleveland Indians and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Reds VS Indians

The Cincinnati Reds have a famous rivalry with the Cleveland Indians. Both teams compete in the Ohio Cup, better known as the Battle of Ohio, an annual interleague rivalry series between these two sides from the U.S. state of Ohio. The Reds and the Indians have met each other for the Ohio Cup 122 times. The Indians hold the biggest win margin in the history of the Ohio Cup, having beaten the Reds 19-4.

Reds VS Dodgers

The Cincinnati Reds also have a fierce rivalry with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams have often battled for the NL West Division crown and have also played each other in various championship games. The Reds’ former manager Sparky Anderson commented on the rivalry, saying: “The Giants are supposed to be the Dodgers' natural rivals, but I don't think the feeling is there anymore. It's not there the way it is with us and the Dodgers.”

They Are Back in Form

Between 2014 and 2019, the Reds failed to make it to the postseason and did not record a single winning season. However, they bounced back in 2020 and qualified for the playoffs. Now they will be looking to carry this momentum forward. Book your Cincinnati Reds tickets today to watch them in action live.
