Jerry Kelly, friend, colleague, fellow aging Tues. evening softball team member and principal of XOXOX Press was given a pair of tickets to the Reds-Indians game last night, and chose to share them with me. Thanks Jerry! We got to the park in time to watch batting practice, take a self-guided tour of the Great American Ballpark, and grab a Brat smothered in kraut and grilled veggies before settling down for the ballgame on a hot and clear Saturday night. Got to see some damn fine fielding and 19 total runs scored, and all from nearly close enough to be splattered with sweat. Who could ask for more! OK, maybe next time the Reds will finish on top.
The photo is Ken Griffey at bat, about to fly out (too bad the shot just before his homer in the 5th didn't come out)

Great seats, sad ending
