opening day

Tomorrow is opening day for the Cincinnati Reds.
I love baseball.
I love the Reds.
Joe Morgan is my all time favorite player. He was a member of The Big Red Machine. They were awesome.
I was in junior high for the two seasons The Big Red Machine won the world series. School was on a 2 hour delay those mornings after the Reds played in the world series. They wanted us to be rested after being up late watching the games.
I still have my Joe Morgan baseball card. I still have my Ken Griffey card. (He was my second favorite player.)
When I played on the school softball team I imitated Joe's batting style......clicking my arm twice before swinging the bat. It helped me to time the ball. I batted clean up.
I taught my daughter to swing the bat using Joe's method. She had a good swing too.
When I was in grade school and dad would take me to the stadium to see the Reds play, I'd bring my baseball glove in hopes of catching a ball. I never did.
My cousin played for the Reds.
He signed a ball for me, and his baseball card. :O) We used to play Wiffle Ball together. I'd like to think I played some part in his success...............even though I  didn't!
