Cincinnati Reds Baseball Facts
- The Cincinnati Reds are a professional baseball team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are a member of Major League Baseball (MLB) and compete in the National League Central division.
- The Reds were established in 1881 and are one of the oldest continuously operating professional baseball teams in the United States.
- The Reds have won five World Series championships, capturing titles in 1919, 1940, 1975, 1976, and 1990. The championships in the mid-1970s marked a dominant period for the team, known as the "Big Red Machine."

- Pete Rose, often referred to as "Charlie Hustle," played for the Reds from 1963 to 1978 and again in 1984. Rose is the all-time MLB hits leader and is considered one of the greatest players in baseball history. However, he is ineligible for the Hall of Fame due to a lifetime ban for betting on baseball.

- The Reds were pioneers in racial integration. In 1947, they became the eighth MLB team to integrate when they signed Chuck Harmon, an African American player. They later signed other notable African American players, including Frank Robinson, who became the first African American manager in MLB history when he managed the team in 1975.
