The Cincinnati Reds held their annual "Redsfest" over the weekend and the biggest happening — other than Bronson Arroyo's Goo Goo Dolls cover or Mat Latos' Justin Bieber impression — was the introduction of the team's new alternate jersey.

That's it to the right here. The Reds will wear the "Los Rojos" tops on select dates this season as they follow other teams into the world of Spanish-themed jerseys.

"Xenophobic grounds." How about being opposed to the constant changing and even elimination of baseball's traditions; what made the sport a fabric of American society. Whether the varying playoff formats, changes in jerseys, divisions, etc. Oops, we are so stuck in 1952.

Cinncinati is trying to assimilate itself into the Hispanic culture. OTOH, it may just be trying to piss off any Americans still living in this country. I think any of the Reds who can’t speak Spanish and not in this country illegally should be thrown off of the team.

Baseball quickly trying to become irrelevant.

Might as well change it to “los jotos.”

Or, “los anos.”

This must be some type of marketing ploy by the Reds and MLB intended to increase the sales of Reds merchandise.
