I think I was at Kearns first home game. Not sure if it was the actual debut.
Was at Chris Reitsma's debut. He did well IIRC. That's the best I can do as far as in person.

He broke into the major leagues at 18. Struck out the side in the first inning of his first game against the Astros.
The form of Tom Seaver, 18 years old, I was in heaven.
He and Bench have to be the greatest young battery in history.

Arencibia. IIRC he hit 2 dingers and a double and went 3 for 4.
Adam Dunn. I can't remember whether he actually did anything special -- but just seeing the coveted "Paul Bunyan in pinstripes" was a cool experience.

just looking at the boxscore of that Bailey start. 4-3 Reds over Indians. Our leadoff hitter? Norris Hopper. Cleanup? Jeff Conine. Reds hit 3 homers, Phillips, Conine and Griffey, in that order. Homer pitches out of bases loaded jam in his last inning (the 5th). Stormy Weathers gives up leadoff homer in the 9th, then shuts the door on Homer's win.
Is it "next season" yet?
Pete Rose Jr against the Royals
I was at the game when he had 1 of his 2 career hits.
I remember he hit a bunt-driven .300 that 2007 season which fooled some here into thinking he was a solution in CF.
This is what you you will find if you search for old Norris on the internetz.

I was at the Cole Hamels game and yes, he was dealing.
It wasn't really that amazing, but I was also at Lance Davis' debut. 5 IP, 3 ER against the Mariners (?) I think.
The biggest one for the Reds that I witnessed in person has to be Chapman. I was there and he absolutely electrified that place. My girlfriend and I both said to each other we were seeing something special.
Johnny Cueto's has to be the best from a starting pitcher of the Reds in my recent memory. 7 IP, 1 H, 10 K in your debut? That's incredible. It took him a few years to really hit his stride but he's the guy we've long waited for to fill that role of a home-grown ace. Homer has developed nicely as well, too, but Cueto is unquestionably the anchor of the staff. I just hope he can stay healthy.
