Editor: This is the second installment of a season-long series by our resident Reds historian, John Ring. (Check out the first installment here.) The series will examine the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Cincinnati Reds, a team on the brink (of huge success) playing during a year that it seemed the world was on the brink. Enjoy!
Opening Day means a lot to most baseball fans. It means everything to Cincinnati Reds fans.
Opening Day at Wrigley Field is baseball. Opening Day in St. Louis means the Clydesdales and baseball and a cold Busch.
