The Cincinnati Reds have historically had some of the greatest hitters in baseball lace ’em up for their franchise. The Hit King himself spent a great deal of time in the Queen City. But, Cincinnati has also been home to some of the great power hitters of their generation.
The Cincinnati Reds have been in existence for 150 years. In 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings became baseball’s all-professional team, with ten salaried players. The team later became a charter member of the American Association in 1882 and joined the National League in 1890.
Over those 150 years, the Cincinnati Reds have seen some great power hitters launching moon shots into the Cincinnati sky.
