We arrived at the Reds facility at 7:30 local time (9:30 Cincinnati), looking like the 2,069 miles of bad road I just traveled in 36 hours, mostly Texas. EW WEE that is one Big A-- State..
Hal McCoy will be my daily traveling partner as I am his driver for the spring, since his sight prevents him from driving. Hal the Hall of Famer, is now number nine on the Base Ball Writers Association list, meaning there are just eight writers who have been members longer.
I tried to come up with a Reds player that wore the number nine to call Hall this spring but could only come up with Joe Oliver. With due respect to Joe, I will call Hal, Roger Maris, who is a more fitting choice to match Hal's baseball writer status.
We meet with Dusty Baker at 8:30 and I will be writing of today's happenings later.
