Best Answer

The Cincinnati Red Stockings were the first professional team that was founded in 1869. The best players of the original Red Stocking team went to Boston and founded the Boston Red Stockings (who then was re-named the Beaneaters and then the Braves. They then moved to Milwaukee and then Atlanta and are the team we recognize today). In 1876 a new Cincinnati Red Stocking team was created and eventually was expelled from the league 1880 for serving beer to fans.

Two years later a third Red Stocking team was in Cincinnati, and in 1890 shortened their name to the Reds. In the 1950's the name was changed to Redlegs in fear that the team favored Communism. The team again became the Reds in the late 60's.
