Nowadays it's all about the loot. De La Cruz was a great draft pick and the scouting department was great in this regard. He seems to be a loyal man who just might stay.
After his HR yesterday I was hoping for an appearance. Well done. As I've said before, my two favorite baseball interviews on this show are Reds. Joey Votto and Johnny Bench. I hope the old catcher is doing well.
No true Reds fan would say that Joey is a loser. He was a winner, the whole time the Reds were losing. They lost in lieu of having him on our team, not because of him.
My Grandparents were Reds fans. My Grandmother loved Ken Griffey Sr and Joe Morgan. She called Morgan "Chicken wìng" because he would flap that left arm while waiting for the next pitch. It's good to see them hot and in 1st place.
Mine and my Grandmother's is Ken Griffey Sr. The "Big Red Machine" should get a lot more recognition. Some of the GREATEST players, teams and managers were a part of The Reds.
I think it was Gary Cooper playing Lou Gehrig who followed up Babe Ruth promising the sick kid he would hit two home runs and hit the second HR on his last at bat. At least that’s the way Hollywood depicted it.
