Right

Old farts like me who actually watched the Big Red Machine play and win always think Reds when you say Cincinnati. Most of the youngins have no clue how big Pete Rose was in 1976. Shaving ads. Wheaties boxes, game shows, on and on. A true household name, anywhere in the country.

Today you get a hundred miles out of Cincinnati you'd be hard pressed to find someone who could name a single Red, maybe Votto ?

And I doubt it will ever return to that level of baseball town. Not under the current ownership anyways.
