I rolled into work last Wednesday around 8 am. To my surprise, the Reds were hosting one of their tryout camps on the field that the company I work for owns. As I pulled up, I joked with a few people that I was going to dust off my bat and glove and show the scouts what I had to offer (which isn’t much). One of the guys I was chatting with replied “can’t be any worse than what the Reds have right now”.
I thought about it for a second and laughed it off. A little later, it hit me that some people out there still have the perception that the Reds are a bad baseball team.
