My name is Dick Wilson. I purchased the Cincinnati team. I didn't realize I was purchasing the World Champs. I stepped into some big shoes.
I really purchase the team because the Cincinnati Reds have always been my favorite team. As a child, I lived near Cincy and watch Frank Robinson, Big Klu, and Guy Bell play ball. Then as an adult I watched the Big Red Machine. So anyway, I seen Cincinnati was available, and I purchased it.
Just wanted to introduce myself, and I am looking forward to a fun season. Good luck to all!

Welcome Dick...my favorite team is the Reds as well. I was 6 years old when the Orioles beat us in the World Series and I cryed and cryed and cryed. So as you can see I have been a lifelong fan as well.Mark "Wilverines" Wilver

So, now that we've dispensed with the niceties; how do I get you to trade Ben Griffey to me for a second round pick? :-)

Welcome to the league, and you really did score a great team! FRobby might be the most under-rated HOFER of all time. Gus Bell was a quality act. I'm a Dodger fan, but I used to be a big fan of Jim Maloney, who (with the exception of Sam McDowell) was the closest thing to Koufax in terms of overpowering stuff.So, now that we've dispensed with the niceties; how do I get you to trade Ben Griffey to me for a second round pick? :-)

Welcome to the league ! We have more than a few hardcore baseball fans here, myself included. I am a life-long Phillies fan. The first game I ever attended was between the Phillies and Cubs. Fergie Jenkins locked up with Jim Bunning in a tight game. I'll never forget it. Oh yeah..............the Phillies lost 3-1.Not that you'll need it but good luck this season.

Wow, Bunning vs. Jenkins at your first game ever. Mine was Drysdale vs. Spahn. Anyone else have a HOFer matchup at your first game?

I grew up a Red Sox fan and went to my first game in 1975. Jim Palmer vs. Luis Tiant (not a HOFer but still pretty good). Rico Petrocelli and Carlton Fisk hit solo shots as the Sox won 2-0. Later that season I was exposed to that powerhouse that was the Big Red Machine and since then they have been one of my favorite non-Sox teams. Great players up and down the lineup and extremely well-managed.
Best of luck to all in the new season!

Thanks for all the responses. By the way, my first game was Cincinnati Red Legs against the St. Louis Cards. I watched my hero BIG Klu play first base and jack a home run. I also watch one of my favorite players play too. Stan (the man) Musial.
I also watch Joe Nuxshall pitch that day too. Fun Fun and yes I worn my Reds baseball cap and had my baseball glove with me. My grandpa would not let me go to the dugout and say hi to big Klu. I didn't understand why! Dick
