'Mr. Baseball' Barnhart returns to home state

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tucker Barnhart returned to his hometown on Saturday morning for an exhibition game between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates. The Reds catcher said his wife, parents and sister would be in the crowd of more than 14,000 at Victory Field.

"I'm a little biased, but I think this is one of the better Minor League parks to play in," Barnhart said of the home of the Pirates-affiliated Triple-A Indianapolis Indians. "Being able to stay at home when I play here is nice, too. This game sold out quickly, so our tickets were pretty limited.
