Oh I don't know. When my dad took us to Reds games back in the 70's, my brother and I had a ball. Of course, we were always there early, always down on the field getting autographs. It was a blast. There was nothing quite as exciting in baseball at that time as the Big Red Machine.

 

I loved going to the games. My step-dad and his brother-in-law had season tickets so we went to a bunch of games. Back then Pete Rose was a god! I can remember how it was more exciting when he was up to bat and how the crowd would cheer for him. Those were some good days. You go to a game today and it's not much different than going and seeing WWE Monday Night Raw. But I still love to go to games, don't go to many but try to see a couple a year.

 

Went down to St. Louis in April and took my dad to a Cards/Reds game, but hadn't seen one in a while prior to that. Took a foul ball off my hand in that one...so close. All in all, though, nothing beats the good ol' days.

We actually got to run the bases once after a Reds game. That was way cool, especially sliding into 2nd, 3rd, and homeplate.
