I want to celebrate the names, the ridiculous and the sublime, that make baseball what it is. This is largely inspired by a Joe Posnanski post where he said that Wally Moon was the most 1950’s name ever. That sparked me to take on this new project ... Let’s go through each decade of Reds’ history, from 1890s through the 2000’s and select the greatest names. We will have three categories: Best Name, Most Cincinnati Name, and Most 1920’s Name. I will list the names and how they got on

So, today I happened to stroll over to the "Mothership" and low and behold, what do I find?  "The Who Dey Perspective":  possibly the final act of desparation by the Bengals PR director, Jack Brennan, to ward off the inevitable public backlash against their recent demands for an additional $43M from Hamilton County to make repairs to Paul Brown Stadium, originally constructed for $455M - by Hamilton County, for the Cincinnati Bengals ...

Even if you could sit around and detail possible trade scenarios, the Bengals are unable to move Carson Palmer until there's a solution between ownership and the players for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. That's just fact ... No matter what you hear from other places, there is no trade in principle. There's no reason to believe a trade will happen soon and the Bengals front office is doing nothing about Carson Palmer's trade demands. And I mean, nothing ... Don't believe me. Then check

Though I haven't researched this extensively, a cursory scan of Google and my brain tells me there's never been a sitting Reds player to lend his name to a video game franchise or grace the cover of the annual edition of The Show , MLB 2K - whatever or their antecedents. Ken Griffey Jr. headlined a series of video games during his time with the Mariners.

Academy of Cincinnati's annual Minumental Exhibition is about to open its 24th annual installment of one of smallest traditions on the Cincinnati arts calendar. No, we're not demeaning the show — it's small for a good reason. Work by Academy students, faculty and alumni must measure no more than 2 inches in any dimension, although it can be done in a variety of forms — painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, mixed-media, fiber art, even photography ...
