Ah, such beautiful words.  Spring is truly on its way.  Throw and catch.  Run and hit.  Hope springs eternal.  My beloved Cincinnati Reds will triumph this season.  Of course, I’ve had that same refrain since 1991 but I believe it every year.  Even without Brandon Phillips (we miss you already dude) I believe we can win.  When I was growing up in Cincinnati and South West Ohio, Baseball was practically a religion.  I think it has been taken down a notch but just wait for the next Fountain Square celebration and all that will change.  Cincinnati is the last major league city with an Opening Day Parade every year and one reason we always open at home.  Go Reds.
