Notes

1. * Due to a player's strike in the summer of 1981, the playoff teams were determined by "first-half" division champs and "second-half" division champs. Those teams met in a divisional matchup. The Reds finished 2nd in the first-half with a 35-21 record and 2nd in the second-half wih a 31-21 record, thereby, were not division champs from either half and did not qualify for a playoff berth despite having the best record in the league at 66-42.

2. ** Record in current season, subject to change constantly.

3. From 1953-1959, the Reds were officially called the Cincinnati Red"legs", to divert suspicion of potential ties with the Russian army.
