DON'T ROCK THE CLUBHOUSE





The Reds have a diverse clubhouse and there is no single person that chooses the clubhouse music.

Sam LeCure grabbed the remote early in camp and was playing 60's and 70's rock as in Crosby, Stills and Nash's Woodstock.

LeCure is the seventh child in his family and the next youngest is 10 years older.

"More than jeans were handed down in my family," LeCure said. "Records and tapes were too. I have my personal preference but you can't play it everyday. You can't play it everyday. There are a lot of different styles of people who like different things. Some guys want to listen to different things to get them wound up for the games or to chill out after the game."

He has taken some teasing about his choice of music.

"It's just a product of being in a baseball clubhouse," LeCure
said. "You're going to get teased about a lot of things. Even if you have a good day."

First year manager Bryan Price, who held a meeting to set down guidelines for dress and hair styles, has no set rules.

"I don't mind music in the clubhouse my concern is decibel level," Price said. "I don't like music screaming through the clubhouse. You never are going to find genre of music that is going to satisfy everyone in the clubhouse. If you have one guy in sole possession of all the music, no one wants that kind of environment. If it's played at a reasonable level and it's rotated, I don't think everyone cares. You don't want anything playing too loud after you've lost a game. It doesn't have to be a morgue after you've lost a game but we're not celebrating a loss either."

"We have an eclectic group. I haven't heard any complaints. We have a guys that have been around each other enough that if something needs to be policed; it will be policed."
