Best Answer

The first professional Baseball team was the Cinncinatti Red Stockings, now known as the Reds.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Cincinnati Red Stockings moved to Boston and became the Boston Red Stockings. They were a charter member of the first major league, the National Association in 1871. When the NA folded after the 1875 season, the National League came into existence and the Red Stockings became the Red Caps. The original Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869 are the Atlanta Braves of today.

The Cincinnati Red Stockings of 1869 were baseball's first openly all-professional team. The Cincinnati Base Ball Club formed in 1866 and fielded competitive teams in the National Association of Base Ball Players 1867 to 1870, the time of a transition that ambitious Cincinnati, Ohio businessmen and English-born ballplayer Harry Wright shaped as much as anyone. In 1969 Major League Baseball recognized those events officially by sponsoring a centennial of professional baseball.
