Hello,
Thanks for accepting my membership. I have been following the Reds since 1973. My boy has all my 1970's Reds posters (framed) in his room. He has Pete Rose, Tom Seaver, Johnny Bench and Dave Concepcion.
Hopefully, the Reds can win out before the All-Star break. (fingers crossed)
Welcome goreds2 :)
Thanks,
Let's break the losing streak tonight. :beerme:
Here's my intro!!
I've been a viewer here for over a year, but I have finally decided that I want to have some input. I am a 31 year old fan of the Reds. I started loving the Reds as an early teen when guys like Eric Davis and Barry Larkin were my heros. I am from the Louisville, KY area. Nice to meet all of you all. I have really enjoyed the things that you have added to my Reds experience in the last couple years and I hope that I can contribure a fraction of the knowledge that you have given to me. HELLO ALL!!!!
I went to my first reds game in 1965. I was 7 and I remember I had a popcorn box (that doubled as a megaphone) and I had it signed by a few of the reds. My dad said if we stood near the clubhouse I could get an autograph. I got Rose, Pinson, and a few others.
What really stands out in my mind was the trip to the game. We lived in Milford and the ballpark was on the west end so the trip took about 40 minutes (or long enough to want to pee) and my dad stopped the 57 chevywagon on I-75, opened both doors on the passenger side and said "GO", and I did. We parked by Union Terminal.
Hello. I'm rude. No really. I'm rude. It's my REAL name. Well, real last name.
Anyhoo, growing up my fondest Reds memories are sitting on the back porch with my Grandfather, eating ice cream and listening to Marty and Joe.
I was fortunate enough to enjoy many a game during the BRM era. I was there the night that Tony Perez became the all-time Reds leader in RBI's (since broken by Bench) and got his autograph after the game. I was there the night Johnny Bench hit his only pinch-hit home run. I remember being at a game where Pete Rose led off with a home run to left.
Other Reds memories: My Mom almost having a fingernail completely ripped off trying to snag a foul ball, getting written-up by an R.A. for making too much noise in college while I was listening to Ron Robinson almost pitch a no-hitter. Watching the Reds sweep the A's with my late Step-Father. Tearing up when Bench hit his home run on Johnny Bench night and raising his index finger to the crowd as he rounded the bases. Watching Sparky Anderson "talking" to the umps with his hands in his backpockets. Being nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" by the guys on my softball team because I play just like Pete did. Always wearing #5 when I play any sport (yes, I once gave a guy a case of beer just so I could have the number ala Mitch Williams and John Kruk).
I live down here in New Orleans (we're fine...very little damage to our property...we were fortunate) and listen to the games on XM Satellite Radio or watch them on MLB Gameplan.
Glad to be aboard.
