I have followed the Reds since 1960, they are my passion. I don't just go back to the "nasty boys" or the Big Red Machine. I go back to Crosley Field, Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson, Jim Maloney and Jim O'Toole. I am still holding a grudge at the Reds for letting Robby go for Milt Pappas back in '66. I have been writing about the Reds for a decade or so having written for Bleacher Report as a Featured Columnist for nearly four years. I currently live in West Virginia with my lovely wife Debbie and our youngest daughter, the lovely Holly.
