The Cincinnati Reds have long been innovators, pioneers, trailblazers in the world of sport generally and in the American Pastime specifically. The first all-professional sports team. The first night game in professional baseball. Practicing social distancing in the grandstand.
April 2018. Not a living breathing Reds fan within 100 feet.
Cool, rainy
I swam through more than a few ballgames in 2018 at the Great American Natatorium.
Rocking the rain gear and my complimentary Dayton Dragons ball cap.
Miami U. baseball alumnus Mr B in deep contemplation, considering how much harder he could hit the ball in his ninth decade of life than does Joey Votto in the prime of his own.
Above photos from June; Pregame no rain, 4th inning drizzle. My bright blue Nike rain gear makes me easy to spot on the telecast. Look for me in 2021. Maybe 2022.
Two nights later, the Louisville Slugger t-shirt remained dry. At that I remained astonished.
July, more rain.
So much rain at the ball yard might make a lesser fan crabby. #captaincurts #majorleaguecrab #lookattheshirt
Big Sky Reds Country. The State of Montana has nothing on my depopulated section.
Lou and Maria joined me for a game in August. At last! Brilliant sunlight! O! Joyous day!
Roll the credits!
