NATIONAL JELLY BEAN DAY
Hello everyone and welcome to Monday, I’m your host @Jamieblog…
Just a few reminders before we get started,
- I need more BOR Face photos. If you’re not familiar with the phenomenon that is #BORFace, CLICK HERE.
- Due to the popularity (and 9-run win) of the Scorekeeping session we had on Wednesday, we will keep score once a homestand. But with that being said, since this upcoming road trip is a long one, we’ll do it again when the Reds are in St. Louis on Monday the 29th. Cool? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, CLICK HERE.
- Hurry up and vote for the throwback uniform that you want to see Burt BobbleRed wear this year. For that, CLICK HERE.
- Today is National Jelly Bean Day. Eat up!

Ok now that that’s out of the way…
I want to share with you folks a little story about how this most recent “Bark in the Park” was perhaps the most important one yet…
A friend of mine recently lost her husband to cancer. She and her husband would regularly attend Reds games, as both were wild about the team. On Tuesday, my friend attended her first Reds game since the passing of her husband. She chose Tuesday because it was Bark in the Park night at GABP and she could bring her best pal – “Indy.”
My friend, whose name I’m protecting, emailed me after the game to tell me how it went. She said she was lonely but was thankful to have Indy there to help ease her despair. She concluded the email by saying she hopes the Reds never end the Bark in the Park nights.
Since I’m at the ballpark everyday for every game, I sometimes become oblivious to how the game and the ballpark experience affects those in attendance. My friend’s story was a poignant reminder.
To many, a rainy night at the park with a playful “bring your dog” promotion was just that. However, to some – or perhaps just one – it meant a whole lot more.
I also hope the Reds continue the Bark in the Park promotion.
Here’s Indy…
…..
Some of you have asked for some updates regarding Reds staffer Chris Herrell…
Chris was scheduled to have his bone marrow transplant today. However, according to his wife Laurie, an airline staff strike is currently preventing the donor’s marrow to reach the States. Laurie writes that Chris’s cells have been purposely destroyed by his recent chemotherapy sessions to prepare for the transplant, and due to that, he needs the transplant ASAP.
The Herrells are currently working on finding another flight to get the marrow delivered.
Please continue your good thoughts, prayers and positive vibes for Chris.

Ok, now (or meow) let’s conclude this blog post with something a lot more lighthearted…
Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Latos were kind enough to give me a really cool shirt…but on one condition – I had to provide a photo of myself wearing it.
Well, without further ado, here’s me and Scout….
As you can see, Scout was not amused. I was, though and I hope you are, too!
More stuff in a bit.
Expect good news

SUNDAY’S LINEUP VS. MIAMI: WHO’S YOUR RED-TO-ROCK?
From my pal @Bongreatness…
Today is Reds Season Ticket Holder Photo Day at Great American Ball Park. Early renewal Season Ticket Holders will be permitted to stand on the warning track in the outfield of the ballpark to snap up-and-close photos of their favorite Reds players, coaches, broadcasters & mascots from 11a-12p. The Season Ticket Holders who are participating in this promotion should be directed around to Gate 2 of the ballpark where they can enter beginning at 10:30AM today. Please note: the other Great American Ball Park gates are scheduled to open at the regular times of 11:10AM for Season Ticket Holders and 11:40AM for the general public.
The first 8,000 kids 14 and under at today’s game will receive a Kids Sport Band, courtesy of Tire Discounters.
Today we will honor the 66 teams who participated in the 2nd annual Reds Futures High School Showcase. The teams have been playing games in the Showcase since March 15th and due to a few rainouts, a few of the games are remaining to be played in the coming days. The teams will participate in a pregame parade around the warning track beginning at 12:15PM and we will salute MVPs from the 27 games that have been played to-date in a pregame ceremony. The MVPs will receive a custom made bat courtesy of MSA Architects as well as a Certificate of Accomplishment for their performance in their games. Reds CEO & majority owner Bob Castellini will congratulate the MVPs along with Reds GM Walt Jocketty and Reds right fielder Jay Bruce. The event will be capped off by a ceremonial first pitch offered up by 1974 graduate of Withrow High School and member of the 1990 World Series Champion Reds, Mr. Ron Oester.
God Bless America will be sung today by Ben Walz from the field during the middle of the 7th inning break.

And speaking of @Bongreatness, he recently got his head shaved. As I was hanging out with him yesterday, I noticed he reminded me of someone…then it hit me!
That’s Bongreatness on the left. On the right is WWE Superstar CM Punk. Dead ringer!
