2013 Opening Day Anthem and First Pitch?
Seems like I start a thread requesting this information every year around this time....maybe I'm the only one who cares??
So....anybody heard who recieves the honors this year? I enjoy the pagentry of Opening Day and always hope for big names.

George Foster is the Marshal for the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade.

I am full blown ignorant on this subject. Has Peter Frampton ever played the Anthem and/or thrown out the first pitch? Opening day or otherwise? I know he lives in Cincy.
Re: 2013 Opening Day Anthem and First Pitch?
2011 Opening Day was pretty cool with the flyover, not sure if that will be done again, but its pretty awesome
Re: 2013 Opening Day Anthem and First Pitch?
Rarely, if ever, does an Opening Day come and go without a flyover.

Well, I guess that means I won't be seeing him come out w/ Gov't Mule in the Nati next month huh?:(
Thanks for the update.

Pretty much all you need to know about Opening Day festivities here.

Roseanne is singing the National Anthem.
Re: 2013 Opening Day Anthem and First Pitch?
Maybe I am hard to please but once again I am left feeling very underwhelmed. Joe Torre does have name recognition but hardly signifies "Opening Day in Cincinnati" to me. He managed Team USA? Sorry, but big "who cares" from me. I understand his wife is from Cincinnati but come on....
And a fireman who nobody knows singing the anthem? Ugh. At least he has some sort of tie to the city.
Again I acknowledge that I may be being a tad picky. At 4:10 next Monday baseball is back and that is all that matters.

Exactly how I felt when I saw the announcement.

Considering sitting President's have been the guest of honor on Opening Day, I think you have a point. I'm sure Mayor Mallory would have come back for an encore. :laugh:

A shot at redemption?
Re: 2013 Opening Day Anthem and First Pitch?
Eh. I do understand the thought by many that Opening Day in Cincinnati is a huge deal and we'd like at least some A-list locals to partake in the pregame activities but it really doesn't bother me to much.
