Watching the Milwaukee Brewers/Cincinnati Reds series at Meadhouse.



Meade took that picture during the first game of the 4-game series.

Bobbleheads on the TV?...Next you're going to tell me you drank beer out of the bottle while you watched the game.

Sorry about the Brewers this weekend (45+ year Reds fan here...) We (i.e., DatDudeBP) FINALLY managed to hit one over Carlos Gomez in CF!
I've no doubt the Brewers will show the Reds similar hospitality when they next play in Milwaukee.

I saw my first Reds game in, probably, 1972 at Riverfront Stadium. They beat San Diego, and Joe Morgan hit a home run. I don't know why I remember all that; I was pretty small at the time.

I also remember that on the way to the stadium, my dad pointed to some ruins. Old Crosley Field was being pulled down, and I thought that was terribly sad.

I love the term Meadhouse with its multiple connotations of a warm and friendly environment.

Also, love the "looking back" photo. Great smile for a 42 year old. :-)

@dwick, my first visit to Riverfront was in 1971. I was a Cubs fan at the time but the Reds won me over after I moved to Cincinnati in'74 to go to school, just in time for the Big Red Machine to turn into the juggernaut it became. I still keep a warm spot in my heart for the Reds and listen to Marty (and miss Joe) every chance I get. When I go to Miller Park I wear my Reds cap. All I need now is a Yadier Molina bobble head and I'll have representations of my 3 favorite players currently in the game.

Meade captured a play that ESPN has made its current Web Gem.

And Meade gets "extra cookies" for having the Gomez bobble head right there mirroring the move.
