Ryan and I went the the Reds grainy facilities this morning. We got there just in time to see the Reds stretch and take BP/infield practice. Within the first 5 minutes, all-star and Gold Glover Brandon Phillips looks over and starts talking to Ryan. So what does my outgoing, social son do? He turns and starts to walk away like he's shy. So basically, he dissed Brandon Phillips!
Actually, Brandon kept talking and couldn't have been nicer. There were a few others that acknowledged the kids that were there. We watched Billy Hatcher give a bunting lesson to Fred Lewis. At the end, Billy flipped a ball to Ryan and talked for a minute.
We were also able to get three more baseballs that were either foul balls or BP home runs.
My personal favorite moment was getting meeting soon to be hall of famer Barry Larkin and getting him to sign a ball.
A couple of the Reds aren't doing too bad. Here's pics of a couple of the cars in the lot.
After practice, Ryan and I had lunch at Señor Taco. Insert your own joke here.
We are at the Rangers vs Reds game now. More on that later.
