Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are a powerful team with 5 World Series wins as well as 9 pennants. Mr. Red and Gapper are the Cincinnati Reds mascot team. One resembles the man with a baseball head that was used in the Cincinnati Reds logo that originated in 1955. Gapper is his red, furry sidekick that shares the same taste in clothes as they both wear the Reds jersey.

Fans of Cincinnati Reds baseball will notice that at the end of 2006, the team changed their uniform to a more traditional style. Great American Ball Park is the name given to the Cincinnati Reds home ballpark in Ohio. A piece of trivia relating to this park is that the first pitch was thrown at its very first opening game by former president George Bush because his son was unable to attend at the last minute. Fortunately, George W. Bush was given the opportunity to throw the ceremonial opening game pitch in 2006 before the Reds game.
