The Cincinnati Reds
 PROFILE
Cincinnati likes red-hot baseball. A dominant team in the 1970s, the Cincinnati Reds posted six division titles, four NL pennants, and back-to-back World Series championships in 1975 and 1976 with players like Pete Rose and Johnny Bench. Founded in 1866 as the Cincinnati Base Ball Club, the team gained the nickname the Red Stockings in 1868 and became the first all-professional baseball team the next year. CEO Carl Lindner gained control of the team in 1999 after Marge Schott was forced to sell her controlling interest. (She was twice suspended for making ethnic slurs.) The team signed superstar centerfielder Ken Griffey Jr. to a nine-year, $116 million contract from the Seattle Mariners in 2000.
