What Nick Senzel means to us

About 11 years ago to the day, one of the biggest and most exciting events in my life as a Reds fan happened. Jay Bruce, the 21-year-old #1 prospect in all of baseball debuted and lit the entire planet on fire. His first two weeks in the league, he hit .500. He came up with big dramatic hits seemingly every other night. It was an absolute thrill in a way I had never really experienced as a Reds fan before. He was Hope and Change, which as you might recall, was kind of a thing back then. He was going to be good and he was going to make the Reds good.
