Remembering A Marathon: Phillies, Reds Go 19

On May 25, 2011, I watched the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Washington Nationals at Miller Park. Zack Greinke homered.

Then I drove to some bar in Milwaukee bedecked in blue and yellow, spoke with the bartender for about an hour, then started my drive west to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

For dinner I stopped at a TGI Friday’s outside Milwaukee. I just needed a bite. When I walked to the bar I saw the Phillies and Reds were on TV. National game on ESPN. Of course it was; practically every Phillies game during this time was televised nationally.
