Things to do in Cincinnati #26: The Cincinnati Reds

This is Aroldis Chapman, the closer for the Cincinnati Reds, and the fastest pitcher the world has ever seen, having clocked in at as fast as 105 mph. Today he finished the game with the 11th strikeout of the match, securing the reds at the top of the National League, and also securing free pizza and ice cream for all 32,000 fans in attendance. Woo Hoo!

 

Oh and apologies for picture quality, the light was brutal, and Chapman moves pretty quickly. I guess that arm must be moving at over 100 mph. The hapless team on the receiving end were the Milwaukee Brewers, whom we beat by the narrow margin of 2 to 1. Many thanks to Johnny Cueto, the starting pitcher, who recorded most of the strikeouts that scored us all pizza and ice cream. He pitched pretty well too!
