CINCINNATI -- Kyle Waldrop was out to dinner with family Saturday evening in Indianapolis. He has an aunt and cousins who live there, so Waldrop's parents and grandparents flew in for a reunion and to watch him play for the Louisville Bats, the Reds' Triple-A Minor League affiliate, play the Indianapolis Indians.
Dinner was interrupted by a phone call, but it was one of those calls you don't want to miss.
It was a call telling Waldrop he was being called up to the big leagues. The fact that his wife and family were present made it all the better.
