December 3, 201114 yr Had a chance to go over to Redsfest tonight with the wife and little one. The Reds do a great job putting this on and really give back to the community with lots of fan interaction with players both past and present. The kids only press conference was good as well. the only thing that I saw that I would have to change was the autograph lines and the autograph seekers. Seems like there are roughly 4 different lines that they rotate players through to get either pictures or autographs. The lines are SO long that it would be tough to entertain a young one to get to the front of the line. The other issue is the people that are seeking the signatures for profitable gain as opposed to personal interest. The amount of 40-50 year old men that litterally have a suitcase filled with bats, balls, 8x10's and other memorabilia is CRAZY!! the only thought I had was maybe if there was a way to have the item personalized by the players ie. "To Matt, Best Wishes Herm Winningham" I think this would let the people that are there for the love of the game and the love of the Reds enjoy the experience more. Overall it is a class act from top to bottom!
December 3, 201510 yr Anyone going today or this weekend? I'm taking my little cousin for the "VIP" event tonight for season ticket holders.

December 3, 201510 yr I've actually never been to Redsfest. At this point in my life, maybe I'll just wait til I have a little guy/gal to take.
December 4, 201510 yr $25/$17 for tickets scares me away every time. My ego doesn't need to spend that kind of $ just to get a pic with the bullpen catcher. The DeSclafani autograph can wait until the guy throws some strikes and gets some wins.
December 4, 201510 yr DeSclafani and Lorenzen were there last night. Maybe 200 people there, nice little setting. I wouldn't dare go to the actual event. My nephew got the autographs in like 2 minutes.

December 4, 201510 yr Why wouldn't you? I mean for just myself, too big of crowd. I don't care enough about autographs. I'd be willing to take a little one, it's an awesome event for them.
