"There's somethin ‘ about growing up in Ohio that never leaves your bones, Our sports define us, bring us together, and bind us" ~ SS
In Cincinnati, baseball has always been less a sport than a kind of psychosis. It is to the natives what bullfighting is to the citizens of Madrid, and is approached with the same passionate enthusiasm and subjected to the same universally expert consideration. There is, I feel sure, a larger percentage of true baseball aficionados in Cincinnati than in any other city in the country.
