After six months of no Reds regular season baseball, the wait has finally ended and the gates at Great American Ball Park will open to fans in a few short hours.
Opening Day in Cincinnati is one of the greatest traditions in baseball and this year will be no different. Lou Piniella, the manager of 1990 World Series-winning Reds, is set to be the grand marshal of the Opening Day parade and will also throw out the first pitch. When the ceremonies end, the Reds will take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the first of a three-game series.
