I'm partial to afternoon games myself, but night games in the dog days of summer were generally less humid, not sure how that'll be with the 6:40 first pitch every night now.
After the rain delay we walked around the concourse and watched the game from different view points. It was a wonderful day. I was worn out when I got home haha.

Ron, I hereby make a motion that we all pitch in and buy you season tickets to the remainder of all Reds' home games this season. I'll buy five if a dozen or so others will buy five. Twenty runs... WOW! Whatever you did to affect those Reds' lumberjacks and those Cubs' pitchers needs to be duplicated about sixty more times.
Glad you had a fun day at the ol' ball orchard !!!

KFR,
I've been to so many games I've long since lost count of just how many. I'll say this much though, I've seen a lot of Reds wins mostly due to going to so many in the '70s but I've also seen my share of loses too.

This was the first time since September of 1999 that the Reds had scored 20 runs in a game.

I live out of the country, but when I am back home it's usually my game of choice. I play hooky from work, which is a nice added element of fun, and buy a cheap ticket and kind of wander the park and sit in different sections. There are never large crowds at those games even when things are going well, so nobody cares. It's a good time with lots of "true" fans there who are also chatty and fun. It's a good time.

Well done Ron, they did it for you. My last game at GABP was similar, but just the reverse score (19-5 over the Reds if I recall)
