Since the day I was born (or maybe a few years later when I could actually form words and syllables) I have said that this was the year the Reds would take it all, another World Series win!

I admit I’ve only been right a few times but this time I mean it. It is the 150th anniversary of the founding of the first professional team in baseball (The Cincinnati REDS), the last season that Marty Brennaman will be the voice of the Cincinnati REDS and the REDS have had an active off season bringing in impressive talent instead of another rebuilding year. This is IT. We will DO it. This is OUR YEAR.

It is only 43 days until Opening Day, a special holiday in Cincinnati. GO REDS!
