Cincinnati Reds Baseball Hats

Cincinnati Reds logo The Cincinnati Reds finished the 2006 season at 80-82. The Reds have the potential to make a run at the NL Central division championship with some big seasons from key players on the team. The Reds will need career years from Aaron Harang, Bronson Arroyo, Brandon Phillips, Adam Dunn, and most importantly Ken Griffey Jr to make a playoff push. The Reds last played in the playoffs in 1995, sweeping the LA Dodgers then being swept by the Atlanta Braves in the NL Championship. The Reds built Great American Ball Park in 2003 and tearing down Riverfront Stadium. The Reds do have a chance to make a postseason run in 2007, unlikely, but possible. The Reds last won the world series in 1990 sweeping Mark McGwire and the Oakland Athletics. Choose from a nice selection of Cincinnati Reds baseball hats below at American Sports Outlet.

Reds Information
  • In the first ever professional baseball game the Cincinnati Red Stockings defeated the Mansfield Independents 48-14 with a total payroll of $11,000. The star shortstop was George Wright who made $2,000 per year.
  • The Red Stockings along with being the first professional baseball team also hold the record for the longest winning streak at 130 games. Their streak ended in 1870 as the Brooklyn Atlantics defeated them 8-7 in 11 innings.
  • Since the formation of the National League the Reds have won 5 World Championships in their 9 trips to the World Series including their first in 1919 which was tarnished by the Black Sox scandal.
  • The Reds hosted the first Major League night game on May 24, 1935 as they defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in front of 20,422 fans. In their seven night games that year the Reds attracted an average of 18,000 fans, 13,400 more than the average that day games brought into the stadium.
  • The Reds welcomed fans to the first game played at the Great American Ballpark on opening day of 2003. The home of the Reds had been Riverfront Stadium, also known as CINergy field, since 1970. Buy Reds Tickets 2002 was the final season at CINergy field and started off as it would be very successful. Despite losing Ken Griffey Jr. to an early knee surgery the Reds were dominating and held on to first place when Griffey returned. However, the return of Griffey seemed to drag the Reds down as he hit only 8 HRs and 23 RBIs in 70 games. The Reds struggled in the 2nd half and finish below .500 with a 78-84 record. Fans hoped with the opening of their new stadium the Great American Ballpark would bring the Reds a winning season to rebound from the struggles of the year before. Unfortunately the opening day 10-1 loss to the Pirates was a prediction of the unsuccessful season. The Reds would lose 14 of their first 20 games as Ken Griffey Jr. was injured early once again. April showers must bring May flowers because as May came the reds won 15 of their next 21 games to climb back over .500. July brought the return of Griffey as he hit 5 homers in his first 5 games back. After playing a total of 55 games in 2003, Griffey was forced to sit out again due to an ankle injury. The Reds finished the season in 5th place with a record of 69-93.
