Professional baseball was born with the formation of the barnstorming Cincinnati Red Stockings on this day in history, March 15, 1869.
The Red Stockings and their distinctive crimson hose are still seen on the fields of Major League Baseball today.
The National League's Cincinnati Reds and the American League's Boston Red Sox both trace lineage to the Cincinnati Red Stockings........When the Red Stockings folded in 1870, manager Harry Wright was hired by a Boston businessman to bring baseball to the city. The Red Sox name and uniforms are a tribute to the legacy of the Red Stockings.
