The city of Cincinnati was riding high with the excitement of the upcoming Reds' season. The campus of Xavier University was especially excited after notching a win over rival University of Cincinnati in baseball, and to celebrate this momentous occasion the off-campus bars were practically exploding with people. They lined the streets, played kazoos, ran around with thunder sticks, and made jokes about the weight of one Cincinnati pitcher. It was an electric scene, and one JP Macura stood before all of it.
Macura is typically a shy boy, not one to cause trouble, but on this night he felt the need to be mischievous.
