        The original Cincinnati Red Stockings, baseball's first openly all-professional team, were founded in 1867, turning professional in 1869. The Red Stockings won 130 games in a row between 1869 & 1870, before the Brooklyn Atlantics defeated them. Early stars for the Reds included the Wrights, George and Harry, and catcher, Cassius Emmons. The Red Stockings disbanded after the 1870 season, but reconstituted to become a charter member of the National League in 1876. The team was expelled from the league after the 1880 season, in part for violating league rules by serving beer to fans at games.
  In 1970, little known George "Sparky" Anderson was hired as manager, and the Reds embarked upon a decade of excellence, with a team that came to be known as "The Big Red Machine". Playing in brand-new Riverfront Stadium, a 52,000 seat multi-purpose venue on the shores of the Ohio River, the Reds began the 1970s with a bang by winning 70 of their first 100 games. Riverfront Stadium was demolished in 2002 and ended an era marked by three world championships. The Great American Ball Park opened in 2003 with high expectations for a team led by local favorites.
 In 2006, a new era in Reds baseball began as Robert Castinelli took over as owner, assuming control of the Reds team from Carl Linder. Castinelli promptly fired general manager Dan O'Brien. Wayne Krivsky, previously an assistant General Manager with the Minnesota Twins, was appointed as the General Manager of the Reds after a protracted search. For Opening Day 2006, President George W. Bush threw out the Reds ceremonial first pitch, becoming the first president to throw out the first pitch at a Reds game.
