Sunday's game vrs Giants

Talking about taking the family down to the game Sunday. My girls have been to several minor league games, but never a Reds game. Anyone know what time the ballpark opens for batting practice? Would love a chance for them to get an up close view of the players. Thanks.

Re: Sunday's game vrs Giants

I got to the game about an hour before and the Pirates were taking BP, I dunno if the Reds did not take BP that game, but I would have assumed they would have hit after Pittsburgh, but if you get there early enough and go beside the 1st base dugout you are sure to get some autographs. Rolen, Alonso, and Phillips were all signing balls.
The only Sunday game I went to I planned to get there at the same time, but was involved in a wreck a block away from the game so I showed up in the top of the second... Wish I could be more help, and hope you and your family enjoy the game. Nothing like your first big league game!!!!

Stadium generally opens 90 minutes before game time, and I don't think there will be BP on Sunday.

Wow, Alonso signed?!?!?! I have seen people asking him for autos since he was in college and in AAA and only saw rude responses at best, but never saw him actually sign for anyone.
