Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 1879 Cincinnati Reds season was a season in American baseball. The team finished fifth in the National League with a record of 43-37, 14 games behind the Providence Grays. The Reds were hoping to build off a great 1878 season, in which the team finished in second place in the National League with a 37-23 record. In the off-season, the Reds announced that catcher Deacon White would become the player-manager. Cincinnati signed Ross Barnes to play shortstop. Barnes had missed most of the 1877 season and all of the 1878 season after falling ill. In his last full season in 1876, Barnes played with the Chicago White Stockings, and led the NL with a .429 batting average, 138 hits, 126 runs, 38 doubles, and fourteen triples.
