With such a rich past, there is no better time than now to brush up on the history that makes the Cincinnati Reds the team they are today. From no-hitters and perfect games to the players who called Cincinnati home, the Reds have a history full of memorable teams and moments.

Chad Dotson, founder and managing editor of Redleg Nation, and Chris Garber, contributing editor and featured writer for Redleg Nation, have created the ultimate history for the die-hard Reds fan in The Big 50: Cincinnati Reds (Triumph Books, April 2018). From the first professional baseball game to Todd Frazier’s 2015 Home Run Derby win, everything new and old Reds fans want to know is in this book. Highlights include:

• A heartfelt foreword by Marty Brennaman, radio voice on the Cincinnati Reds Radio Network
• A look at Vander Meer’s back-to-back no-hitters and Tom Browning’s perfect game
• The crazy game played on July 22, 1986 that lasted for five hours and checks off a list of odd occurrences
• Chapters on the team’s different trips to the World Series and the NLCS, including their back-to-back championships in 1975 and 1976
• Find out what the number 4,192 meant to Pete Rose and the Cincinnati Reds

The Big 50: Cincinnati Reds takes on all the aspects of being a Reds fan. Whether you want to know more about the 1961 “Ragamuffin Reds” or you want to know who the Nasty Boys were, this book has all of the history a Reds fan should know.
