Bio of Road Trippers: Part 2

Name: Mike O.

Age: 25

Hometown: Cincinnati

Current Town: Cleveland

Favorite Team
: Reds

Favorite Non-Reds Teams: Indians, Tigers, A's, Rays

Teams I Despise: Cubs (can't put into words how much i hate them and their loser fans), Dodgers, Cardinals, Mets

Most excited to see during the trip: Yankee Stadium, Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Philly Cheesesteak, Rocky Statue (Yo, Adrian!!).

Favorite Baseball Memories:
1. Getting to play a softball game on Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field). A once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget.

2. Staying up late as a 7 year-old to watch the Reds dominate the Athletics in the '90 World Series.

3. At Riverfront Stadium with my dad, watching the Reds close out a 3-games-to-none Division Series sweep of the Dodgers in the '95 Playoffs.

4. Attending the game where Adam Dunn jacked a 535-foot bomb over the batter's eye in CF. The ball left the stadium, bounced once off of Mehring Way, and supposedly landed on a piece of driftwood on the Ohio River. Needless to say, it's the longest HR in Great American Ballpark to date.

5. In attendance for Barry Larkin's first career grand slam in '01. It finally came after his 6,735th career at-bat.
