Findlay Market parade grand marshal Barry Larkin: Energy 'really touched me today'

National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Cincinnati Reds great Barry Larkin spoke at the conclusion of the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade with Bally Sports Ohio colleague John Sadak during "Reds Live" about Larkin's grand-marshal duties in Tuesday's parade.

"I was going into it thinking, 'OK, what can I compare this to in anticipation?'" Larkin said. "Well, I always think about coming to the ballpark on Opening Day as a player, and really waiting until the announcements are made before the game and you go and stand on the line and the crowd is just abuzz with the electricity and the energy in the ballpark.
