Here are some pictures taken from Saturday’s Opening Night game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Florida Miami Marlins. Although the Reds lost 8-3, the club put on an excellent event, one that I think surpasses Opening Day. At least, I had a lot more fun.
-
- Jim Day and Jeff Piecoro dressed up to the 9s for Opening Night.
-
- Joey Votto throws a grounder to second before the game started.
-
- Mat Latos throws his first pitch as a Red on Opening Night.
-
- New for 2012: the center field smoke stacks emit bursts of flame everytime the Reds strike out a batter.
-
- Joey Votto takes a ball during his first at bat on Opening Night.
-
- The Rusty Griswolds, an 80s cover band, performed between innings and during the fireworks show.
-
- Joey Votto rounds third and high-fives Mark Berry after his home run.
-
- Like the FS Ohio crew, the grounds crew dressed up, too.
-
- After the game, fireworks lit up the sky to cap a fun Opening Night.
Pictures from the Red Carpet meet and greet event prior to the game will be coming tomorrow.
