Most major league teams take their winter caravans to lunches, dinners, and various other events in their areas of influence. Not the Cincinnati Reds. And in this case,
that's a good thing.
The Cincinnati Reds brought a little sunshine and a lot of smiles to kids at Children's Medical Center of Dayton on a cold winter morning.
Manager Dusty Baker, outfielder Chris Dickerson and broadcasters George Grande and Jeff Brantley joined Rosie Red at the hospital Sunday, Jan. 25, to visit with the kids and hand out signed baseball hats as part of the annual Reds Winter Caravan.
The Dayton stop came on the final day of the Western leg of the team's three-leg 3,000-mile tour, which began Thursday. The caravan included three buses traveling in three directions covering five states.
The Dayton leg included visits to Dayton Children's and the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
This part would have been worth being there to see.
When 4-year-old Preston Saunders of Hillsboro said he liked to watch "SpongeBob SquarePants," Baker told him, "Me, too!" And showed Preston how he could laugh like Patrick, one of the show's characters.
Part of me wants to post a side-by-side comparison of Dusty and Patrick....But, that would mess up the above story.
