Sweet Summertime

There is nothing like the crack of the bat, the warm summer sun on your face (in my case, frying my face off), and the explosive atmosphere at a Reds game. Baseball season is finally back in gear, and there is no greater season in the world. I look forward to Opening Day every year and know that summer is near. It also helps that my dad works down at the stadium and he is always coming home with goodies or stories to tell about his experience in the bullpen with the boys. So far, the Reds are off to a good start in the season, and I just hope they can continue to contend in their division. I feel like Dusty Baker has a good grip on the team and knows where his priorities should be. I can't wait to go down to a game, enjoy a few beers on a warm summer night, and go home craving a Skyline coney, which never fails to happen.
