First Pro Baseball Games

Before the game started we were allowed to watch how professional baseball started out. This is a picture of one of the teams as they warmed up. Notice they don't have gloves to catch the ball with. This is how baseball was played in 1869.

Adam Dunn

Cheerleaders

Cheerleaders were out working everyone up and getting them excited before the game. I must admit that I had never seen cheerleaders at a baseball game before. I have no idea when this was started.

Thank you Shirley for the comment. The tall one is my son. The other one is his best friend. We had a great time at the game even though we were exhausted by the time we got home. I look forward to going again.

They lost the game to the Mets. The final score was 7 to 5. Both teams seemed to be struggling some throughout the day. Lots of errors.

The last time I went to watch the Reds play was in the old Riverfront Stadium. They played the Cards that day and lost the game. The Cards had Vince Coleman and Ozzie Smith at that time. I recall the Cards pitcher making the last out in the top of the first inning.

Baseball is the greatest sport known to man, IMO. There's nothing quite like a day at the ballpark. The soda is crisper and the hotdogs tastier. By the way, I hope the Reds won (unless they were playing the Cardinals). Have a great day fellow baseball fan.

It was my son and I along with a friend and his wife and son. Josh and my son are best friends. You hardly ever see one without the other. Thanks for stopping by, Sweetie.
