"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is."
-- Bob Feller (Robert William Andrew Feller, nicknamed "the Heater from Van Meter", "Bullet Bob", and "Rapid Robert", was an American baseball pitcher who played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Indians between 1936 and 1956)

The west end of Newport was a busy industrial area a century ago. Keller's is no longer a feed mill but was one into the 1980's. The red building to the left of the feel mill in the background was the office for Newport Steel Works, formerly Empire Steel. The. area has transitioned to having a number of service industries. Has a great view of the Cincinnati Central Business District with the Cincinnati Red's Stadium on the Ohio Riverfront.
Across the Ohio River from Newport, Kentucky, sits the Red's Stadium. A loosing season ended with the firing of Manager David Bell. The Cincinnati Bengals are 0-3. Not much to celebrate at this point. The Ohio River just keeps rolling past the team's stadiums.
It was the Cincinnati Reds' Friday Fireworks Night on the Ohio River in front of the Great American Ball Park. The Cincinnati Reds' final score was 8 runs versus the Pittsburgh Pirates' 3. Time to celebrate!
Sell-out stadium, win, new manager and hope for a great year...the weather cooperated and Pittsburgh lost.....

We got one step closer to completing a longtime goal. I hope to catch a game in every major ball park in America. The game was pretty much over after seven innings. Reds beat the Cubs 14-5 with 8 runs in the seventh.

Beautiful morning for a walk across the Taylor-Southgate Bridge in Newport, Kentucky. The reflections in the early morning did their job.

Cincinnati's Red's Stadium and its Central Business District are across the Ohio River. The death of baseball's Pete Rose left many in shock. Pete remains an icon in the tristate area.
The Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team has a fireworks display following every game they win. These photos were shot from the Purple People Bridge (a pedestrian bridge).
From Wikipedia:
The Taylor–Southgate Bridge is a continuous truss bridge that was built in 1995. It has a main span of 850 feet (260 m), and a total span of 1,850 feet (560 m). The bridge carries U.S. Route 27 across the Ohio River, connecting Newport, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio.
Some regard this bridge, which was a replacement for the Cincinnati-Newport Bridge built by Samuel Bigstaff, as a little too plain in its design for a major urban bridge, especially considering many cities today are opting for a more elegant design, such as a cable stayed bridge.
The bridge is named for the families of James Taylor, Jr. and Richard Southgate, two important early settlers of Newport. Richard was the father of William Wright Southgate, a pre Civil War Congressman from northern Kentucky.
a bunch of us played hooky from work this afternoon to go watch the Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates battle it out for last place in the league.

Cincinnati is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the government seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers, the latter of which marks the state line with Kentucky. The city is the economic and cultural hub of the Cincinnati metropolitan area, the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on increase of economic output, which had a population of 2,190,209 as of the 2018 census estimates. This makes it Ohio's largest metropolitan area and the nation's 29th-largest. With a city population estimated at 303,940, Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and 64th in the United States.
The Cincinnati Reds dared to sell beer in their stadium to their beer-loving Cincinnati fans. That was against the standards of the franchise system. The franchise in Cincinnati was terminated in 1880 by the franchisor, the National League. Subsequently, the ex-franchisee, i.e. the Cincinnati Reds, helped create their own franchising company, the American Association, which had 10 franchises.
