Cincinnati Reds World Series, National League History
The Cincinnati Reds were one of the founding members of the National League in 1876. The team was expelled from the National League by league president William Hubert in 1880 for refusing to stop selling beer at their games. After the expulsion, the team joined the nascent American Association League, which was not the eventual American League, and played there until rejoining the National League in 1889.
The Reds moved into Crosley Field in 1912. In 1919, the Reds defeated the Chicago White Sox to win their first World Series. But by 1920, the infamous Black Sox scandal had rocked baseball and tainted the Reds’ 1919 championship. Eight members of the 1919 White Sox team were accused of losing the Series to the Reds on purpose in exchange for money from a gambling syndicate led by the notorious mafia figure Arnold Rothstein. All eight players were banned for life from baseball and Hall of Fame consideration.
The Reds’ next World Series title would come in 1940 when they defeated the Detroit Tigers. The team waited 35 years for their next World Series title. In 1975, the team, led by Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, and other future Hall of Fame players, dominated the National League with a 108-54 record. The vaunted Big Red Machine, as the team was known, won the World Series in seven games over the Boston Red Sox.
The following year, the Big Red Machine repeated as World Series champions, sweeping the New York Yankees to win their fourth championship.
Fourteen years passed before the Reds won the 1990 World Series, led by hitters Barry Larkin and Eric Davis along with pitcher Tom Browning and closer Randy Myers, who completed 31 saves. The Reds surprisingly swept the vaunted Oakland Athletics power-hitting lineup, led by Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco and Ricky Henderson. It was the Reds’ last World Series win to date.
