I regret to announce that "This Date In Reds History" will have to take a brief hiatus, as I am taking a couple of college courses this summer, and I don't know how much extra time I will have. I will try to continue to post, but it will likely be very sporadic. Thanks to all of you who have enjoyed and supported TDIRH for the last five years, and thanks to retrosheet.org (an outstanding source) and baseball-reference.com (another great site). Hopefully I will be posting past lineups again soon!
