Redlegs Report- Jason

Your annual reminder that the 1978 Reds were the first team to wear St. Patty’s day themed unis. No, not you Boston.

This dude just marched in an stole the PA mic. He acted as if the University was named after him!!!

Another day at the park! More PAing for @WKU_Baseball WKU looks to take the series vs Indiana State. 3 pm CT (Larry Bird may or may not be here for his Alma mater)

Back on the Hill to PA a DH 1 pm @WKU_Baseball vs Southeast Missouri State. Go Tops!

It’s never too early for baseball! Year # 14 on the PA mic. WKU vs BYU at 1 pm! @WKU_Baseball

I have many questions, Fanatics. “Obviously” its Most Popular. Go Olympics!

Dateline Feb 7th, 1999. It’s been a slow week at the MLB licensing office, when the Art Director takes a week off to go skiing. He leaves incompetent Frank Johnson in charge. He returns to find the Reds Slinky Pet has been approved and shipped.

Second only to the painters cap phase, was the short lived poof ball hat phase. For when you wanted to look like a Baskin Robbins worker, but show your Reds fandom.

Not baseball related, but I got to meet former hockey player and star of the classic movie Slap Shot @steve_carlson17 His life story is amazing and he has forgotten more about hockey than most mere mortals know!

It’s 1989 and upstart Co Lil’ Sports Brat submits a licensing proposal to MLB Properties. “Listen Johnson, we’ve got a lot riding on this and your Art Dept., whata you boys have to submit?” “A dumpy, anatomically correct enamel player, Sir!” “Johnson, you’re getting a raise!”

This is the greatest thing you’ll see for the last few hours of 2025. A vintage Cincinnati Stingers cocktail ice bucket.

When there’s monsters under your bed, or Uncle Bob is trying to find the guest bedroom after stumbling in drunk after too much holiday cheer.

They say the perfect Christmas gift doesn’t exist. Tell those people there is MADNESS RUNNING WILD! Ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Somewhere, somehow @mcompton428 ‘s neighbors are hating him with all the yelling after that huge Blue Jays home run!

We were lucky enough to interview many of the ‘99 Reds team over the years. One thing is for certain, they all held on to that extra game loss to the Mets like it was a death in the family.

I don’t know the context of this picture, but in my mind Big Red is saving this dog from some sort of peril.

@OleTimeHardball Yes! Would he have one of those old school 4 finger gloves?

I’m thrown by the opposable thumb/3 finger combo

I have so many questions. Is this a bear? A clown? A dude with wild hair? Why is he wearing shorts? Did the MLB licensing dept. just push this through because a 3 day weekend was coming up?

Buying this notepad for Tim Belcher’s birthday brought up too many bad memories for him.

@tvhuitger I’m not sure, a friend sent me that pic.

@RedlegsRadioRep WOW! I’m a 1961 Reds collector. Where did you locate these?

We’ve got guests coming over, get out our good glasses.
