Will Chris Mack get a huge ovation from Reds fans? You'd better believe it.

Mack would get plenty of cheers from fans at Great American Ball Park even after he left Xavier in March to become Louisville's head basketball coach.

But the reception from the crowd at Louisville Slugger Field when Mack throws out the ceremonial first pitch on Thursday night before the Bats - the Cincinnati Reds' Triple-A team - take on the Durham Bulls should be impressive.
