Take me out to the ball game

On Monday night, my friend BI took me to see the Cincinnati Reds vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was the first time I've seen a Reds game that close this year. This year, by the way, is the last year that the Reds will be playing in Cinergy Field, formerly known as Riverfront Stadium. Next year they will be moving into their new ballpark, Great American Ballpark, named for Great American Insurance Company.

In general, it was a terrific time. BI was the best man in my wedding, and I was a groomsman in his wedding. I still refer to him as 'the best man'. The Reds lost 6-5.
