Today, for the first time in history, a Major League Baseball game will be played in Tennessee. The Cincinnati Reds play the Atlanta Braves at Bristol Motor Speedway tonight at 7:15.
Upwards of 100,000 will be on hand to see the event. Some tickets are still left as low as about $100 apiece. We are not sure who thought of this idea, but it is a good one.
Bristol, Tennessee, is located approximately halfway between Cincinnati and Atlanta. In western North Carolina, there are many Reds fans. In fact, the Reds are on television every day in the Asheville area.
