Happy Father's Day to ME.....cha...cha...cha!

Molly & Dan .....professional MLB stalkers....
known to chase Jim Thome into an elevator...and Harold Reynolds through the hotel bar!
SECURITY!!!!
.
Parking at the Westin is $3 a day and it is only 4 blocks to the park....whether you are a guest or not!? (Obviously no Mayor Daley here....)
and the Great American Ballpark lived up to its name with a great layout....free sunscreen....$1 food/drink menus....great views of the Ohio River...and helpful/friendly staff. The usher who showed us to our seats....actually wiped down all three with a Reds towel!!
Two days of parking at the Cell vs. Cinci....paid for the trip.....well almost.


"Rosie Red".....my second favorite MLB Mascot.....



Mr. Red Legs is now my official, favorite MLB Mascot.....very creepy looking....scares little kids....and takes his squirt gun out on opposing fans. He jumped down from the dugout after this pic....walked into our aisle....looked at Danny....yanked off his SOX hat.....held it up to the crowd (to a chorus of boooooooos).....gave the inside of his hat a few squirts....and put back on Dan's head ....and the crowd went wild!!




A very rare and unproductive bat for Mark Buehrle....





Mr. Jenks wrapping it up for the second day in a row.

If you're looking for a quick getaway....I was very impressed by Cincinnati....I would highly recommend that you stay downtown and take in a Reds Game.
Real baseball fans minus all the circuses of the Cell.
