Reds Winter Caravan Lexington, KY

Little late to the party here. So my brother and I went yesterday as we have for the past 5 years. We got there an hour early, which in the past has guaranteed us seating. This year was an exception. There were at least 75-100 people ahead of us. But let me say it was worth the wait. Though the lineup in Lexington this year was somewhat weak I feel like we made out like bandits. Guests included Todd Frazier, Billy Hamilton, Jeff Brantley, and some front office guys who I had nothing for them to sign. Had been hoping that Joe Morgan would show and had brought along his rookie card, but was disappointed. I had individual baseballs for them to all sign until I noticed that B-Ham and Frazier were not signing on the sweet spot (which I assume they learned from Jay Bruce.) So I switched tactics and pulled out my Jay Bruce ball from a couple of years back and figured I would start myself a team ball of sorts. So here are the treasures from the caravan.









BTW, I totally dig the "Cowboy" inscription.

nice job...did you get to see Hamilton sign it or was he too fast for you to witness??

Too fast.....LOL!!!!!!!! He was a very nice kid and if he can transition his skills to the bigs, I see the Reds dominating for the next several seasons. A good leadoff hitter is the final piece of the puzzle for them, add in his base stealing ability and Cincy baseball is going to be exciting. I could see the dawn of "A New Red Machine".
