Redsfest line
Got in line about an hour and fifteen minutes early, and there were a few hundred folks in front of me. Not a bad wait though… The folks behind me that traveled all the way from Cali just for Redsfest were really nice to talk to. I later saw them being interviewed on the Redsfest TV feed. Very cool for them.

Clay Caroll and Jim O'Toole
Two of the best Reds pitchers of all time – Clay Caroll and Jim O’Toole. Great guys and often a part of Redsfest.

Srsly you can’t stand in line?

Redsfest
If you are at Redsfest for autographs… then you are spending a lot of time in line. You’re probably also standing next to someone that insists on sitting on the floor waiting for the next round of signings to start. I always kinda find this funny.

Reds Raceway at Redsfest 2008
Thought this was pretty cool. All the kids interactive stuff at Redsfest is killer. I’m sure the little ones love playing at this event.
