Gather ’round, Redleg Nation. It’s late, and I have a fire started in the backyard firepit. Allow me to spin a little tale of unrequited love.
If you are a member of this community, chances are very good that you have invested a substantial portion of your life following the Cincinnati Reds. The folks here are people who I would definitely call die-hards. You don’t hang out here for year after year of losing and disappointment unless you feel a very intense attachment to this team. I’ll go so far as to compare it to a relationship, which is defined this way by Google Dictionary;
the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.
