Put Me In, Coach
It seems everybody's asking Mayor Mark Mallory if he's ready to take the mound at Great American Ball Park to throw out the first pitch on Opening Day.
He'll be ready, he says - he's practicing. He knows exactly how far the ball has to go: 60 feet, six inches.
It'll be the third time Mallory has been on the Reds' field. He was there in the early 1970s with his father, former Ohio House Majority Leader William Mallory Sr., and last year with the Tuskegee Airmen.
But he'll be a year older when he does the honor - Opening Day, April 2, is also his birthday. He'll be 45.
