1867
- The Cincinnatis open their new ballpark, Union
Grounds, with a win over Louisville, 60-24.
Union Grounds would serve as home to the Red
Stockings until the club was disband in 1870.
Cincinnati's Museum Center sits by the spot
where Union Ground once stood. |

1882 - In game one the Cincinnati Reds
battle to a 9-9 tie in a morning exhibition game
against the Philadelphia Athletics. The second match was a
regulation game that had the biggest crowd
of the season, 5890. The Reds lost by a score of
6-1 in a sloppy match that saw Cincinnati commit
12 errors. Cincinnati native and East Ender,
Buck Ewing, did the umpiring honors. |

1886 - At American Park, the
Reds whip the Athletics, 8-0, before a festive
crowd of 6,500. George Pechiny got the shutout.
The game was played on Sunday and local police
threatened to enforce the blue law but the game
went on without incident. |

1929 - The Reds and Cubs split
a double header with Cincinnati taking game one
and Chicago taking game two. In game one a fight
broke out between Reds pitcher Ray Kolp and Cubs
outfielder Hack Wilson. Kolp heckled the
outfielder mercilessly throughout the game and
in the 8th inning Wilson had enough. After the
Cub hit a single he turned the Reds dugout and
slugged Kolp in the head and fists went flying.
Cincinnati's Chuck Dressen tagged Wilson out
during the melee. |
