The Cincinnati Reds are a Major League Baseball team based in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. They are members of the Central Division of the National League.

The franchise originated in 1882 as a charter member of the now-defunct 19th century Major League called the American Association. The name "Reds" evolved from the original ball club called the Cincinnati Red Stockings, baseball's first openly professional baseball team. The current Reds joined the National League in 1890 after spending its first eight years in the Association.

Since 2003, the Reds have played their home games in Great American Ball Park, a baseball-only facility built next door to their previous home, Riverfront Stadium, which has since been demolished. The Reds are managed by Dusty Baker.

The Reds have enjoyed sporadic success
