Ah, sorry - it wasn't so much of a story as a mention that the Reds were part of the "three R's" - and the three worst teams in baseball - in the Royals, Rangers and Reds.
It was something I already knew, but having it blatantly pointed out was a nice little kick in the you knows.
It was not so much of a story, but a blurb before some game highlights.
Congratulations to Ken Griffey, Jr. on passing Mark McGwire for seventh place on MLB's all-time home run list (584), and for tying Vada Pinson for ninth place on the Reds' all-time home run list!
