It has been my pleasure to be able to ignore this platform over the past few months. Although it will be interesting to see the richest person in the world flush $44B down the toilet. I personally will be reading that event elsewhere.

@PickensBurgh@Bengals I do remember. It was awful. How many int has @JoeyB thrown since that weird game? Bengals still would have won the game if long snapper Clark Harris hadn’t been hurt. Not much to brag about Steelers fans.
@aflawedmanofGod@Nicholaspkirby Concerts, some of the excellent new restaurants popping up all over Cincinnati, and six FCCincinnati matches. Even attended the Bengals first preseason game. As a Reds fan since 1961, I can follow the team in ways that doesn’t enrich Phil and Reds front office. I’m patient.
Ulysses S. Grant nailed it: “The dividing line will not be Masons and Dixons, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
@dotsonc It was one of the last games Fred Hutchinson managed. He stepped aside to be treated more aggressively for the cancer that killed him in early ‘65. He was 45yo. If not for the cancer, there is a good chance he would have been manager of the Big Red Machine. Then no Sparky who?
@dotsonc Crosley Field. 8/6/1964. The Reds beat the Braves 9-3 (still my favorite baseball score) Joey Jay was the winning pitcher. Aaron did hit a 3-run HR. Vada Pinson hit a HR in 1st. Frank Robinson got on base 5 times. Reds scored 4 off Warren Spahn in late relief. Rose didn’t play.
I love living in Cincinnati. Grew up in small town just west of the city but have spent much of my life living in one of Cincinnati’s great neighborhood. I (we) stopped thinking about moving to a city further north in retirement. We have everything here we want and 10 min drives.
