in
Cincinnati
,
Ohio.
" The
1869
Cincinnati
Red
Stockings
made
history
not
only
as the
most
dominant
baseball
club
of its
time
but also as the
first
band
of
professional
ballplayers
.
Professional
baseball
originated
in
Cincinnati
. The
first
game
played
by a
team
in
which
all
players
were
professionals
and
received
pay
occurred
on
June
1
,
1869
,
when
the
Cincinnati
Red
Stockings
defeated
the
Mansfield
Independents
, an
amateur
club
. The
Red
Stockings
won
by a
score
of
48-14
. The
salary
for the
entire
Cincinnati
team
during
the
1869
season
was
eleven
thousand
dollars
. The
Red
Stockings
went
on to
win
130
consecutive
games
during
1869
and
early
1870
, not
losing
a
game
until
June
14
,
1870
.
Baseball
historians
challenge
the
number
of
games
because
a
majority
of them
involved
amateur
clubs
losing
to the
Red
Stockings
.
Nevertheless
, the
club
had
fifty-seven
straight
victories
against
other
highly-ranked
and
professional
or
semi-professional
teams
.
Cincinnati's
decision
to
pay
players
proved
to be a
success
, and
other
cities
soon
began
establishing
professional
clubs
throughout
America
. The
Red
Stockings
team
was a
leading
contender
during
its
first
several
decades
of
existence
. In
1876
the
team
,
now
known
as the
Cincinnati
Reds
,
became
one
of the
original
members
of the
newly
formed
National
League
, but this
organization
expelled
the
club
in
1880
for
selling
beer
at the
team's
games
. The
Reds
returned
to the
National
League
after
a
decade's
absence
.
Baseball
became
one
of
Cincinnati's
most
popular
entertainment
venues
,
aided
in
part
by the
team's
World
Series
titles
in
1919
and
1940
.
Cincinnati's
"
Big
Red
Machine
"
featuring
players
such
as
Johnny
Bench
,
Joe
Morgan
, and
Pete
Rose
,
dominated
baseball
in the
1970s
,
picking
up
additional
titles
in
1975
and
1976
. A
surprise
wire-to-wire
title
again
in
1990
strengthened
the
Reds
'
legacy
and
helped
ensure
future
generations
of
Reds
fans
.
