EPISODE SUMMARY

The 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings are often considered the first professional team in baseball history, although the truth is a bit more complicated. Led by Hall of Fame brothers George and Harry Wright they traveled the country using the recently completed transcontinental railroad, defeating every team they faced.

In this episode, Greg Gajus, co-author of "Baseball Revolutionaries: How the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings Rocked the Country and Made Baseball Famous", joins us to talk about the team, its groundbreaking world tour, and its important place in baseball history.
