My father sold news papers near the entrance of the park during a Reds game. I went to the park a few times as a kid. This was fun to watch. Thanks Dennis.
Small world......I used to buy newspapers near the entrance of the park
Great video. My grandpa has his picture in the front of paper from the early 1960’s catching a home run in right field behind a leaping Roberto Clemente. Every household in the family has it framed.
The best part of the story is that he played hooky from school that day, and ended up getting busted by his dad when his boy-scout troop took a trip to the paper press the next day. And his face was front and center on the daily paper
Excellent! I learned so much! Thanks for the photos of the old Crosley field with surrounding housing. My grandfather was born on W Liberty.
GABP is an absolute gem. I hope it can start to see some success
Excellent video! We need another Beer and Whiskey League.
I saw the last doubleheader in June 1970. I remember Johnny Bench hitting a ho 4:06 4:07 me run off the scoreboard clock against Fred Norman a future teammate
Johnny who?
I wish I could have seen Crosley field with my own eyes. But my dad got to see it. He was like 8 or 9 when we went to a reds game.
Fantastic video. I really enjoyed watching this. Big thanks from up here in Toronto!
Awesome video, Wanted to know all this and happy I found the video. Grandpa got to meet Johnny Bench a few times thru his job, Hell of a ballplayer and guy he said.
Fascinating video!
Thank you for this video

Bad Dream
A youngish man sits in the upper deck of a ballpark.
His wife sits at a distance,
As unreadable as a sphinx.
He leans over and sees
The broken owner of the team lying in the lower deck.
There are other men sitting in the lower deck.
Big men.
They have attractive wives and beautiful daughters and
The best seats for viewing the game.
It is an injustice!
And will be forever.
The youngish man has a paddle
To save the broken owner.
He extends the paddle...
...my eyes open.
Reds were not actually expelled by the league. They left the league rather than sign on to the alcohol ban.
There is incorrect information in this video. The Red Stockings did not move to Bank Street Grounds for the 1880 season. Nor did the Red Stockings get expelled from the National League. Also the reason the Red Stockings had to move to Findley and Western in 1884 has something to do with what really happened in 1879-80 in Cincinnati.
The truth that the current Reds team hides from its history is that the 1879 Red Stockings were in such financial dismay that they failed to pay all their players for the last month of the 1879 season, submitted their official withdrawal from the National League (the letter was sold at auction a few years ago), and went bankrupt and defunct.
Upon hearing of the Red Stockings demise, Justus Thorner, the owner of a semi-pro baseball club called the Cincinnati Stars, used the opportunity to submit the application for the Cincinnati Stars to join the National League, and they were accepted and played in the NL for the 1880 season. Justus Thorner was the manager of a local brewery and used his baseball team ownership to increase beer sales for his brewery. He was already doing that at Bank Street Grounds in 1879 when the Stars were semi-pro and did it again in 1880 when the Stars were fully pro in the NL. The Red Stockings never moved there. The Stars were already there.
It was this beer selling that Thorner was doing that got his Stars expelled from the NL after their first and only season in the NL.
Thorner was one of the key individuals behind the creation of the American Association, a new pro league that was also pro "beer and whisky". When the new American Association began play in 1882, Thorner's new team chose the name the Red Stockings instead of his old team's name the Stars, because the locals preferred the Red Stockings name over Stars as the Red Stockings name was used for four seasons in the NL and was also the name of the famous 1869/70 team.
Thorner had a falling out with his new team in the middle of the first 1882 season, and he left. He went on to be part the of the new Union Association in 1884. And because his brewery was closely tied to beer distribution at Bank Street Grounds, he got the Red Stockings team that he created kicked out of Bank Street Grounds so that his new Outlaw Reds could play there in the UA. That is what sent the Red Stockings to Findley and Western.
