Last Saturday I went to the Red's vs. Padres game in Cincinnati with my brother and a couple of friends. I forgot how awesome it is to be in my home stadium with all the fans cheering for the home team. I hadn't been to a game at Great American Ballpark for 2 years. During regular season the past couple of years I donned the Red's gear at Chase Field in Phoenix, I sang "Root, root, root for the REDLEGS!" amidst the crowd of D-Backs fans, turned my hat inside out for rally time when the Red's weren't doing so hot. It's just not the same as being on the home field.
Anyway, this game was particularly awesome for a few other reasons:
Great seats....15 rows up from the visitor's dugout
Unexpectedly ran into my best friend
Rainbow beyond the outfield during the game
Free pitcher and cup set (to bring to DC, of course)
7 HOMERUNS!!!
I'm almost certain Drew Stubbs looked right at me
Good things are happening at the ballpark. I'm getting closer to meeting some baseball players. I can feel it.
