A couple of weeks ago, that Marty Brennaman, the very long-time announcer of the Cincinnati Reds, was doing a fundraiser and speaking at the high school in the next community over. I find these kinds of events are normally way over-priced, but this was very reasonable. Andrew agreed it sounded like fun so I purchased two tickets. I was sure it would be packed, but there were only about 70 people in attendance. He talked for nearly an hour and then answered questions for another 30 minutes. We had such a good time! He talked about how his favorite team was the 1990 Reds that went wire-to-wire (the first team in MLB history to do so), and he talked about his many, many years announcing with Joe Nuxhall, he talked about the Griffeys, and so many other wonderful things. In some ways, being that close to him was a life-long dream come true. I'm so grateful that Andrew is a big baseball fan, and I'm so very glad that he became a Reds fan. It was such a great evening!
