When I went to see the Reds play the Giants, I was interviewed before the game by the Ohio News Network. Never heard of it. I wonder if I was on television?That's one of the Wright Brothers in bronze there. No, not the airplane Wrights, but the Wrights who started professional baseball. Harry Wright, an English businessman, was the manager of the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, who went 51-0 during the first season of professional baseball. He and his brother George were both players on the team. George was a shortstop who many baseball historians say was the best player on the team and maybe even in the country.
The traitors moved to Boston in 1871 and started the Boston Red Stockings team.
