Listening to the Cincinnati Reds on the radio in with Dad in his garage, while stealing nips of his beer while he pretended not to look.

Pete Rose was King, I was 7 & Mom was horrified - which made it even more enjoyable for Dad & me.

Good times, miss my old man.

My Dad knew a guy who had season tickets right next to the Reds dugout at Crosley Field. Sometimes he'd give tickets to my Dad. You could look right into the dugout and see Rose et al spit.

Before everybody had air conditioning, the whole neighborhood sat outside on their porches in the evening, usually listening to Reds games. We knew all of our neighbors.
