The View of the Reds Farm from the Old Recliner
Before the minor league season begins, let's take a cursory look down on the Cincinnati Reds farm.
I grew up in the northern Cincinnati burbs as a Baby Boomer dreaming of playing baseball at Crosley Field and relishing those few opportunities to attend an actual game in that hallowed venue while trying to see around those obnoxious iron supports. I cried when Frank Robinson was traded and literally howled with joy like a banshee when the Tom Seaver trade was announced. After completing a stint in the US Navy and graduating from The Ohio State University, I remained in central Ohio and raised an exceptionally 'diverse' family. I also checked off a bucket list item after the Shin-Soo Choo trade by purchasing my first season ticket package .
