Talk:1880 Cincinnati Reds season

Untitled
This team never existed. The 1880 Reds were a separate franchise than the 1876-79 Reds called the Stars. Needs to be corrected to the Cincinnati Stars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SCSRdotorg (talk • contribs) 08:24, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source for that? The one I read said the owner of the Stars bought the Reds franchise and kept the name.. not that they became a different team named the Stars. Spanneraol (talk) 13:51, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
