Mr. Red
Mr. Red is an official mascot for Major League Baseball's Cincinnati Reds. The character first appeared in 1953 as a cartoon figure based on a 19th-century "Red Stockings" ballplayer, with a baseball for a head. Over time the design evolved into multiple forms, including the long-running "Running Man" logo and later live costumed mascots.
The modern Reds employ two mascots descended from the original character: a clean-shaven Mr. Red and a mustachioed retro version known as Mr. Redlegs. Both appear regularly alongside the team's other mascots, Rosie Red and Gapper.
