My Cincinnati Reds!!!!!!

Today I attended the Reds vs. Sox game at the Great American Ball Park! Even though we lost I loved being at the game (we beat the Sox last night). Just being in the park makes me excited and happy.

I took a few pictures of today's events which I am sharing through a slideshow. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed the game.

One of the photos needs a slight explanation. My daughter attended the game with me today, as well as her friend Kelley and her husband Kyle. When Beth and I attend sporting events together, whether baseball, hockey, etc. we look for one individual attending the event who is...well let's just say way too involved in the game to put it nicely. We call the game "Spot the Idiot." You will see our choice in the slideshow.

Also, I realized today how much baseball has become part of my summer enjoyment. For the last 6 years I have attended several games a year...I LOVE IT...but most of all I love the Cincinnati Reds! Onward and Upward Guys!

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie.....and Spring!!!

Well, Florida was great! It was warm, sunshine was in abundance, the ocean was incredible....and I was sooooo ready for BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!

I had never been to spring training before, even though I love going to the Reds game. This year I decided to make it happen and it was awesome!!! For all those who love baseball I highly recommend it. The atmosphere was just great, you have greater access to the players and lots of older players are there and you have the opportunity to meet them, players like Johnny Bench, Eric Davis, Todd Benzinger and Dave Concepcion.

I posted a photo above that a friend of mine took of Ken Griffey, Jr. at bat. Thought I would share it to get everyone excited for the season! Go Reds!!!

I will be posting a few other photos later in the week. I have some great variety of the wildlife in Florida, the ocean, the sunset and of course the Reds!!!!
