i know this sounds like a fair weather fan, but i just got home from my first reds game at great american (friday nights game) and man i had a blast
its a 5 hr drive from middle tennessee and due to a disability and family issues ive not been able to make it in about 10 yrs. in the 90's, when i was in college, i made the drive to 2-3 series every summer. ive still followed the team and listened to marty - and after several agree emails from me to bud seligs office have been able to watch the reds on TV the the last couple yrs after the blackout changes in middle tennessee (err maybe thats a coincidence ) but other than a few trips to knoxville ive not had a chance to see any sporting events in the last 10 years
however, the stars all aligned this weekend. my sister and bro-in-law took my dad and twin 6 yr old nephews to the game for a fathers day thing and i got to tag along. i can say without a doubt the love for baseball was rekindled for 3 grown men and ignited in two little boys despite the extra inning loss last night. you locals should never take for granted what you have there. society has changed in the past 10 yrs but cincinnati is still the same as i remember , everyone from the vendors to the fans to the hotel employees made the trip a pleasure and we are planning a return trip in the fall. maybe its the winning, i dunno. but anyone
that hasnt been in a while should try to get out and go and accidently
remember why you feel in love with baseball as a kid.
i know no one wanted to hear this testomonial and i wasted bandwith but i sincerely wanted to say thanks to the team and the city. with all thats wrong in the world, waking up to see a 6 yr old standing on the bed across the room imitating brandon phillips batting stance unprompted can make a lot of lifes problems a lot more bearable
