At 8:27 p.m. on Friday night at Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds started the Hall of Fame induction ceremony for radio play-by-play broadcaster Marty Brennaman.
The ceremony was delayed by more than an hour due to rain and moved from the field into the club level of the stadium. But for the 5,000-plus fans in attendance, it was worth the wait.
Brennaman was the radio broadcaster for the Reds for 46 years and was the “voice of summer.” When Brennaman addressed the crowd in his induction speech, the first thing he did was thank the fans for waiting through the rain.
