CINCINNATI • A short walk from Great American Ball Park is a modest brick office building that’s part of a historic cluster in downtown Cincinnati and, for more than 30 years, has been Bill DeWitt Jr.’s office. From his window the Cardinals’ chairman can see the Reds’ home ballpark and the haze of smoke that hangs over it after post-homer fireworks.
He always has a view of the competition.
This past week, baseball operations executives John Mozeliak and Michael Girsch, met with DeWitt at his office to discuss future moves, and he watched his club make the present more interesting.
