Cincinnati: Great American Ballpark - "The First Nine"

            "The First Nine"
The 1869 Red Stockings made history not only as the first professional club but also as the most skilled team of its time.  Although no league had yet been established, some 15 teams were considered to be in the upper tier of baseball clubs.  The Red Stockings, led by player/manager Harry Wright, defeated all those teams - many of them twice - with an official record of 57-9.  Many baseball people and the sporting press thought the decision to employ players would backfire, but the First Nine played at such a high level of skill and conducted themselves in such a "gentlemanly" fashion that there was no doubt that professional baseball would prevail.
