Baseball Is Life: Running the Race

There’s going to be a lot to discuss in this offseason, so let’s start with the obvious: We need to address a horrific error regarding the very backbone of this team– The Mr. Reds Race.

The Mr. Red Race was typically broadcast in later innings, because the drunker you were, the more you cared.
