The Reds, sort of. The Red Legs were the 1st pro team, but they werent exactly. See alot of other teams were paying their players but not reporting it, so the Red Legs started to publicize it and then they became the 1st official professional team. this was in 1869. Then a few years later they were losing money so they disbanded the franchise, This only lasted about 2 years and then they were back as a pro team. So the Reds were, sort of, lol
Thanks,
Matt
