Monday's announced attendance of 13,565 boosted the Reds' final attendance to 2,058,632, an improvement of 39 over last year's total.

Maybe his friends from the Toothpick Aficionados of America made up the difference.

I liken this season to a rollercoaster ride. Maybe we should call the Reds, Diamondback.

They include all season ticket holders regardless of if they are there or not. Gotta keep revenue from all the stupid ads in the ballpark up and thats the way they inflate attendance.
Back to the initial point....
Dusty's daughter came to every home game she could to make sure that Corey was playing ;).

It was a makeup game, so attendance numbers were probably based on the number of tickets sold from the orginally scheduled game in May.

First, let me say I am not a Dusty fan, nor am I a Dusty detester. I am ambivalent even now. I question many of his decisions, most notably Patterson. However, I don't think I would have enjoyed coaching a team that featured the Griffey/Dunn elitist attitude. The proof will be next season when he has a line-up that will feature a lot of young talent, something he can more call his team. I refer to his comment that this wasn't his team. His usefullness or uselessness will show next year, as he will have a lot of young potential to make a successful team. For me, the jury is still out, but I'm willing to wait and see.

Just out of curiosity, where does the idea that Dunn/Griffey have an elitist attitude come from? I know someone who said the same thing and when I pressed about where that idea came from he could only say "I heard it from someone else". Have any players or team personnel ever come out and said this?

They were intimidating to the young future in the club house. The things Dunn did to Bruce at ST were = to the worst College Frat Hazing. Cutting up his street clothes, dumping his stuff on the clubhouse floor, occupying extra lockers with "big star" paraphenalia so Bruce didn't have one on the road, etc. Some razzing is to be expected, but there is a line and Dunn was more than willing to cross it. If Jr. had dissapproved, Dunn wouldn't have pushed it, he's a puppy in Jr's lap. They both knew Bruce could have a career that would make them both a faint memory,----forgotten. No big or over-inflated Ego wants that situation.

Ok fine, but that's not what I asked.
Where did this information that these things were happening come from? What source? Who said so?
