In the following several years the team was dissolved and reformed three times for various reasons, finally ending up at their current home in the National League of Major League Baseball. In 1919 the Reds won the World Series in a stunning victory of the Chicago White Sox, but that win has always been tainted by the "Black Sox" scandal that caused it.

In the years following that ill-fated win, the team went bankrupt due to the Great Depression and Crosley Field, their home, was in serious disrepair. Luckily, in 1933 Powel Crosley Jr. bought the team and by 1939 they were National League Champions. The 1940s saw the team in decline, losing players to the war efforts abroad. In an effort to patch holes in the lineup, the Reds borrowed a pitcher from a junior high school in Hamilton, Ohio and Joe Nuxhall became the youngest person ever to play in a major league game at age 15.

Another historically relevant moment in baseball history occured in 1956 when the team altered its name to the Cincinnati "Red Stockings" fearing the original name would signal a connection with Communism in the McCarthy era. The true name was restored in 1960 when that fear faded. As the Reds, the team went on to win three more World Series for a total of five. Throughout this rocky history, Cincinnati Reds fans have remained steadfast and continue to fill Great American Ballpark for every single game.
