A night at GABP

I enjoyed a wonderful night at Great American Ballpark last night with a good friend of mine. The weather could not have been any more perfect... cool with no humidity. The Reds won with 4 home runs including a grand slam. Raisiel Iglesias struck out 3 batters in the 9th inning to earn everybody in the stadium free pizza. It was just an all around good time.

Beautiful full moon over the ball park.

In light of recent reports about Pete Rose admitting to sexual relationships with young girls back in the 70's, perhaps this statue does not depict Pete diving into 3rd base, but instead leaping head first into inappropriate (and maybe even illegal) relationships. Such a sad story. The man had the world on a string and threw it all away.
