Per #Reds
Reds former All-Star First Baseman and Franchise Icon Joey Votto has gifted the City of Cincinnati, the Reds and the fans a custom-built Verdin street clock as a thank you for their support during his 22 years with the Reds organization.
“I am excited about giving the Clock to the city, the team and its fans,” said Votto. “Being the oldest professional team, I wanted this Clock to add to the charm and mystique of the Cincinnati Reds experience.”
Crafted by Cincinnati’s The Verdin Company, the Clock stands 16 feet, 8 inches tall with four 36‑inch dials, and is located on Crosley Terrace, just outside the main ballpark entrance.
“We are incredibly grateful and honored to have this beautiful Clock adorn the front gates,” said Reds President and CEO Phil Castellini. “Joey made us proud every time he stepped onto the field. And this one-of-a-kind gift from him will continue to inspire and excite everyone who sees it.”
The Clock is finished in the official Reds Pantone red with white trim. The top finial is hand‑painted to resemble a baseball, and each Clock face includes “Cincinnati” across the top and “Reds” along the bottom. The faces feature Roman numerals and the iconic Reds wishbone “C” centered on each dial.
“There will continue to be massive moments happening at the ballpark in the future, and people making new memories,” Votto said. “I hope that I can still be part of it in some way, knowing the Clock adds character to this special place.”
Additionally, the clock head features speakers that can play hourly chimes and a wide range of music, including Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
“Joey wanted the Clock to enhance our shared love of baseball, so we are collaborating with Joey and Verdin for fun ways to integrate it into our games,” said Castellini.
At the base of the Clock, a bronze plaque honors Votto’s contribution. The plaque reads: “Thank you Cincinnati” with Joey Votto’s signature underneath it.
“Joey was involved in planning every detail. He wanted his thank you gift to be a showstopper and we are thrilled with how it turned out,” said The Verdin Company CEO Bob Verdin III.
Prepared, Not Panicked: This Is a Long Fight
Most of you who follow me have been preparing for terrorist attacks for the last 18 months to two years. In late December 2025, many of you shifted from preparation mode to vigilance mode, be confident in the fact you are ready if something does pop off.
For those who are new here and feeling anxious, do not be. Fear is what terrorists want. Prepared citizens are what they fear.
We watched terrorists exploit our open border for years. The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Kent publicly acknowledged that 18,000 Islamist terrorists were inside the United States. This threat is the exact same today as it was three days ago. The threat environment did not begin with Iran, and it will not end with Iran.
Preparation is not political. It is practical.
No one is coming to save you. That is reality. You prepare your family. You build trusted networks. You stay situationally aware. Stick to those basics and discard the noise.
And understand this clearly: this is not a threat measured in weeks or months. It is likely a decade long security challenge. That means discipline, not panic. Sustainable readiness, not emotional reactions.
The government should have been more honest about the scope of the threat. It existed regardless of any decision related to Iran. Pretending otherwise did not make it disappear. Please, be informed and stay that way.
I have shared posts over the past couple years to help you prepare responsibly, and will start linking them below.
How in the f is someone not locked in from a huge soup run? @cbnationals you need to use a 13th row add for biggest soup runners. Every other big series uses provisionals... this could be yours. Reward those who actually deserve it. Retweet if you agree!!! @FloRacing@clintonboyles98
