If you know me very well, you know I really love baseball. I especially love the Cincinnati Reds. I have followed them since I was a very small boy. I grew up watching Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez and the rest of The Big Red Machine.
After a long, cold, dreary winter, baseball returns tomorrow. Opening Day in Cincinnati is like an unofficial holiday. There's a parade downtown. People sneak away from work early or take the day off completely. The atmosphere around the ball park is like a party and is downright electric. Everybody wears red and for a single day everybody in town is a Reds fan. Oh yeah, and there's a baseball game too.
The boys are back in town. Play ball! Go Reds!
