Re: Great thread about Ted the batboy
Thanks for posting that Cedric. It just makes you smile. Never a bad thing.
And I agree with Heisey, bring the kid back before the season ends...or even for a playoff game?

Re: Great thread about Ted the batboy
The sports world needs more stories like this and less about lockouts and holdouts and worse.

Re: Great thread about Ted the batboy
Went to school with Teddy. When I saw that he was the bat boy, I was calling everyone I still knew from high school. The story portrays him well, but honestly doesn't do him justice. He really is such an awesome, high energy dude.

Typical Votto. Can't lighten up even for a moment.

Re: Great thread about Ted the batboy
In a season of great stories for the Reds, this one right here is my favorite.

Awesome awesome story. Definitely brought tears to my eyes and made me love the Reds even more.

Same here. Just a great thing the Reds did. Teddy is just a great person who we all could learn something from.

Re: Great thread about Ted the batboy
Great story. The Akron Aeros have had a regular batboy with Downs known simply as Batman. He has his own personal jersey and is known to dance to the batter's intro music while retrieving bats.
