Tonight at the Hotel Covington I'll be the guest speaker for the Talks & Tonics Series. The subject? How two NKY baseball teams brought back the Cincinnati #Reds from the ashes after the Red Stockings disbanded in 1870. It's free!

I hope there comes a day when the #Reds place a plaque at GABP to honor Bertha Wenzlick Bertram, who made the famous Red Stockings uniforms. #WomensDay

There are incredible mom’s out there…and then there is my mom. She surprised me by gifting me the 1996 Limited Edition throwback CONS Blue Kentucky shoes and shorts from @ONENESS . I had these 30 years ago when I coached (and could still play)#BBN ❤️
