Seeing (the) Reds
MLB HISTORY
“Hispanic Heritage Month is the perfect time to highlight what we’re doing here.”
Los Rojos! The 2022 featured exhibit at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame & Museum is ready for you to explore.
And what a better time to do it than during Hispanic Heritage Month!
We stopped by recently and chatted with its Executive Director, Rick Walls.
Walls says the exhibit looks at the impact Latino players have on the Reds and Major League Baseball.

The Reds Hall of Fame encourages you to find out more about Los Rojos at their website and to learn more about the impact of Latino players on Reds’ baseball, integration in MLB, and more!
“It’s an annual exhibit, it’s a space we change out every year,” says Walls. “This year, we brought something new. A different color, a different look and just a great different feel and now, during Hispanic Heritage Month is the perfect time to highlight what we’re doing here.”
Walls says the exhibit attracts baseball and Reds fans from all over. The exhibit also brings in a lot of education programs from local schools.
The exhibit is set up so you can explore at your own pace or simply follow the timelines. There’s also a 12-minute film that Walls suggests visitors watch before touring the exhibit.
“You’ll find jerseys, helmets, contracts, balls, contracts of players dating back to the 1800s,” says Walls.
lEADING THE WAY
“There’s always been a connection to Latin America and the Reds have been at the forefront of all this, signing two players as early as 1911.”
Walls points out that the exhibit includes contributions from all MLB teams.
