A few thoughts on a person everyone in Cincinnati sports should thank, honor and remember:
Darrell “Doc,” Rodgers’ death didn’t stun me. But the date did.
May 13.
Long before cancer ravaged him, Doc and I talked about that date in 1997. I think it was the day before the 50th anniversary. Or maybe it was that day. As a reporter for The Cincinnati Enquirer, I wanted to know if the Reds’ new assistant general could talk about the significance of the date.
He most certainly would and he was more than delighted to talk about it for publication.
