Red Non-Rivalries by decade

The teams the Reds beat up on the most each decade, including only the teams they played each year of that decade (for instance, Padres/Expos excluded in the '60s):

1900s - Boston Beaneaters/Doves
1910s - Brooklyn Dodgers
1920s through 1940s - Philadelphia Phillies
1950s - Pittsburgh Pirates
1960s - Philadelphia Phillies
1970s - Atlanta Braves
1980s - Pittsburgh Pirates
1990s - Philadelphia Phillies
2000s - Florida Marlins

So the Reds' all-time "play-toy" is the Philadelphia Phillies.

Now for the teams the Reds have played the worst against...

1900s - Chicago Cubs
1910s - New York Giants
1920s - New York Giants
1930s - St. Louis Cardinals
1940s - St. Louis Cardinals
1950s - Atlanta Braves
1960s - San Francisco Giants
1970s - Chicago Cubs
1980s - St. Louis Cardinals
1990s - Atlanta Braves
2000s - Los Angeles Dodgers

So the Reds' all-time worst enemy? A tie between the Cardinals and Giants.
