Reds vs. Yankees, June 23, 2011

 We took the ferry over from the landing at Riverboat Row in Newport, Kentucky. It cost 5 bucks for the round trip. That's me in the Reds hat, holding a Hooters diet Pepsi. I had the grilled grouper sandwich, in anticipation of a brat with sauerkraut at the park, which I was finally ready for in the 8th inning.

 We passed the Belle of Cincinnati en route.

We settled into a great upper-deck view of the field, with the Ohio River in the background.

Here I am with my friend Neil, awaiting the first pitch.

Johnny Cueto was on the mound for the Reds.

Some dude (Brian Gordon) was on the hill for the Yanks.

Manager Joe Girardi arguing a call with the ump. It's funny because after a while, they play the sound of a baby crying over the PA system.

Here's Joey Votto, ready for the pitch.

But the offensive hero of this game was Chris Heisey, who hit there home runs in the Reds' 10-2 victory over the Bronx Bombers, after loosing the first two games of the series.

Here are the fireworks after Heisey's thrid homer of the night. But the real heroes of the game were Cueto and the Reds' bullpen, who only made three of the Reds 10 runs necessary.

At the end of a great evening of baseball, we headed back on the boat to Riverboat Row and drove back to Lexington.
