In 1912, the club opened Redland Field (renamed [[Crosley Field]] in 1934), a new steel-and-concrete ballpark. The Reds had been playing baseball on that same site – the corner of Findlay and Western Avenues on the city's west side – for 28 years in wooden structures that had been occasionally damaged by fires. By the late 1910s, the Reds began to come out of the second division. The 1918 team finished fourth, and new manager [[Pat Moran]] led the Reds to an NL [[Pennant (sports)|pennant]] in 1919, in what the club advertised as its "Golden Anniversary." The 1919 team had hitting stars [[Edd Roush]] and [[Heinie Groh]], while the pitching staff was led by [[Hod Eller]] and left-hander [[Slim Sallee|Harry "Slim" Sallee]]. The Reds finished ahead of [[John McGraw]]'s [[1919 New York Giants season|New York Giants]] and then won the [[1919 World Series|World Series]] in eight games over the [[1919 Chicago White Sox season|Chicago White Sox]].

By 1920, the [[Black Sox Scandal|"Black Sox" scandal]] had brought a taint to the Reds' first championship. After 1926 and well into the 1930s, the Reds were second division dwellers. [[Eppa Rixey]], [[Dolf Luque]] and [[Pete Donohue]] were pitching stars, but the offense never lived up to the pitching. By 1931, the team was bankrupt, the [[Great Depression]] was in full swing and Redland Field was in a state of disrepair.
