CINCINNATI REDS IV
 
1891 - With the Cincinnati blue-law firmly in place, the Reds management and city officials worked out a compromise to allow baseball to be played on Sunday. The compromise was that they could play for one weekend and at the conclusion of the game all Reds players and players of the opposing team would promptly be arrested. Reds ownership agreed and Sunday baseball was played in Cincinnati for the first time in two years. The end result was a Reds loss to the Colonels by a score of 6-12. As expected, all players were arrested following the final out.
