Cincinnati Reds' CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS NOVEMBER 14, 2014 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Cueto-for-Upton trade proposed by Sports on Earth writer David Clark Johnny Cueto for Justin Upton? It's one of five blockbuster trades that make sense, according to sportsonearth.com's Anthony Castrovince. From Castrovince: Neither of these clubs has the financial flexibility to be a major player in free agency, so here's a way for each of them to significantly address a pressing need in the trading game. Granted, I don't actually expect the Reds to move their ace in advance of a season in which they expect to contend. Walt Jocketty has made it pretty clear that's not his intent at all. Nor am I convinced John Hart will move his cleanup hitter, though he hinted this week that this is a stronger possibility than those rumors of him moving Evan Gattis. What I do know is that both Upton and Cueto are eligible for free agency next winter, and the odds of either remaining with his current club beyond 2015 seem slim, given the other contractual commitments their clubs have made. If either is to be moved, the best option might be to move them for pieces of immediate impact. The Reds need a productive left fielder who can get on base -- preferably in a short-term situation, before prospect Jesse Winker arrives (as soon as 2016). Upton runs notoriously hot and cold, but he's averaged 24 homers with a .357 OBP the last six seasons. He'd instantly augment and balance the heart of a lineup in which Joey Votto's knee woes and Jay Bruce's disappointing '14 are big concerns moving forward. I'm sure Upton would fare quite well in Great American Ball Park. The Braves might be able to get away with Evan Gattis in left field, and they need a frontline starting option to join Julio Teheran and Alex Wood in the bid to run down the Nats in the NL East. If Cueto is unmovable, perhaps a different deal could be centered around Mat Latos. Last week, FOX Sports' Dave Cameron made the case for a Cueto-for-Cespedes deal between the Reds and the Red Sox. Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Tuesday at the General Managers meetings that Cueto is close to untouchable. "He'd be tough to move – he's obviously our best pitcher," Jocketty said. Top 10 reasons you'll love Al Michaels' new book John Kiesewetter You can't make this stuff up. Cris Collinsworth wanting ABC to announce his engagement during the 1988 All-Star game telecast from Riverfront Stadium. ... Pete Rose going to three racetracks in a day. … Reds radio voice Al Michaels car-pooling to work with first baseman Lee May. … So here's my top 10 list of what I loved in Al Michaels' new autobiography, "You Can't Make This Stuff Up: Miracles, Memories, and the Perfect Marriage of Sports and Television" (William Morrow; $28.89). The award-winning sportscaster, who turned 70 on Nov. 12, started his big-league career with the Reds (1971-73) after calling minor-league games in Hawaii. He also tells great stories about John Madden, O.J. Simpson, the Winter Olympics, Howard Cosell and "Monday Night Football." But these are my favorites from Michaels, who was No. 2 (behind Collinsworth) on my "Top 25 National Sportscasters from Cincinnati" list in 2013: Cincinnati welcome: Before he was offered the Reds job at age 26 in late 1970, a Reds employee drove him around neighborhoods, starting in Kentucky. "I had grown up in Brooklyn and then moved to Los Angeles. Now I am living in Hawaii. How could I possibly tell my family and friends: 'We've just moved to Kentucky!' " Weather or not: After the Reds offered him a three-year deal, he had second thoughts about leaving Honolulu. "As far as I could tell, the City of Cincinnati had two dominant colors on that November day, gray and brown … with the streets looking like Warsaw at rush hour." Joe Nuxhall: He quickly fell in love with Cincinnati, and the affair was mutual thanks to radio partner Joe Nuxhall. He "couldn't have been more gracious, introducing me around town and making sure people knew I had his stamp of approval. In Cincinnati, where the Reds are almost like a public trust, his support made a huge difference." Sparky Anderson: Taping a daily pregame radio show with Reds manager Sparky Anderson "often lead to another five to 30 minutes where I had a private audience with the man who … would be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I was receiving a Ph.D. in baseball." Pete Rose: Michaels and Rose, 29, "hit it off right away" in 1971. During a spring training off day, Rose, Michaels and Enquirer baseball writer Bob Hertzel went to a thoroughbred racetrack, then drove 25 minutes "to a full card of greyhound racing." Going back to Tampa, they passed a jai alai place. "Where do you think we ended up? We were pulling off a pari-mutuel trifecta." Queen City gem: The Reds finished with a losing record during Michaels' rookie season, after going to the World Series in 1970, "but I was having the time of my life. Driving to work for home games, I'd come around the last bend of Columbia Parkway, an insanely dangerous road … and see Riverfront Stadium. It was a beautiful sight." Johnny Bench: After his 1970 National League MVP season, 23-year-old Bench hosted the nationally syndicated "Johnny Bench Show." Michaels "made a few extra bucks as his (TV) sidekick" for two years. Cris Collinsworth: Before his final Bengals season, Collinsworth popped into the Riverfront TV booth as Michaels was preparing for ABC's 1988 All-Star Game telecast. He "asked if we could announce on national television that he'd be getting engaged to the beauteous Holly Bankemper before the night was done. We couldn't. But I loved his chutzpah." Fast forward 21 years: Collinsworth "was the perfect choice" for Michaels' "Sunday Night Football" partner when John Madden retired in 2009. "Cris has mastered the art of taking complex points and explaining them so lucidly that everyone can understand." George Clooney: At a Las Vegas charity dinner, Michaels and his wife, Linda, saw actor George Clooney, whom they had met as a Cincinnati kid. Clooney came over and said: "Why did you leave Cincinnati?" For an hour they reminisced about the Big Red Machine. "He couldn't get enough stories," Michaels wrote. For Pete's sake: When asked about Rose being banned from baseball 25 years ago for gambling, "the word I always use is sad. … To this day, he's the athlete I most loved covering. His work ethic was out of this world." A few years ago, Michaels told him, "Pete, you just have to tell the truth," as they sat together on a flight from Los Angeles to Tampa. "It shouldn't be like this," Michaels wrote. "Pete Rose was one of the greatest players ever, and it's a shame that this is a major part of his legacy. Again, I go back to the same word. Sad." MLB.COM At GM Meetings with Reds, Towers likely to be hired soon Former Padres, D-backs general manager will fill yet-to-be-announced role with Cincinnati By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com CINCINNATI -- Reds general manager Walt Jocketty left the General Managers Meetings on Thursday without a new left fielder or bullpen help in the fold, but that would have been the exception rather than the rule if he did. These meetings were an opportunity to lay groundwork for the near future. "I think we had productive meetings with clubs and we spoke to a few agents," Jocketty said while connecting flights back to Cincinnati from Phoenix. "I think we made at least some progress on a few things. But we're still a ways away from doing anything. We had a lot of dialogue with people face-to-face, which is always better initially. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks." Only the Mets and Tigers made significant signings during the meetings, with New York landing outfielder Michael Cuddyer and Detroit re-signing designated hitter Victor Martinez. The probable next chance for Jocketty to meet personally with teams, players or agents is when the annual Winter Meetings commence on Dec. 8 in San Diego. When those meetings happen, there will likely be a new member of the front office in the Reds' suite in Kevin Towers. The former Padres and D-backs GM is all but signed to take a yet-to-be-announced role under Jocketty. "I think we'll probably have something done by Monday, if not over the weekend. It's fairly close. We have to work out a few things," Jocketty said. Towers was the Padres' GM from 1995-2009 and the Arizona GM from 2010 until his dismissal in September. Although not officially with his new club, he was in Phoenix with the Reds' contingent this week. "We had him with us at the Meetings to get to know us better, how we work and what we're all about," Jocketty said. PHILLY.COM Reds' Frazier to be honored at Sports Writers awards dinner CINCINNATI REDS third baseman Todd Frazier will be honored as the Native Son at the 111th annual Philadelphia Sports Writers Association awards dinner on Jan. 16 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, N.J. Frazier, a member of last season's National League All-Star team and former rookie of the year, starred on the Toms River (N.J.) team that won the 1998 Little League World Series.

  • Making Cincinnati the National Epicenter for Minority Business
    2019-2020 Making Cincinnati the National Epicenter for Minority Business Development 2 – 2019-2020 Accelerator Annual Report Letter from the Chair Over the past couple of years, we have outlined a bold vision and strategic plan to grow the aggregate annual revenues of minority businesses in the region by $1 billion and subsequently create an incremental 3,500 jobs by year-end 2022. This bold vision and plan have galvanized regional and national stakeholders desiring to partner with us to not only accomplish something transformational for Greater Cincinnati, but something that might truly inform and transform this work across the nation. Our four key pillars to achieve these bold goals, which are to grow our existing portfolio firms, build a robust pipeline, attract larger-scale minority firms to the region, and create new minority firms via acquisition of mainstream businesses, have each enjoyed major developments over the past year, and have collectively served to further elevate and position the Minority Business Accelerator as a national best practice. Importantly, our bold plan and vision follow over a decade of exceptional work in the region to build larger-scale minority-owned businesses, which was perhaps best captured in a LendingTree.com report released early in 2019 that recognized Cincinnati among the top 10 metropolitan areas in the country where minority entrepreneurs are finding success. Moreover, certain categories of that very same report, namely the percentage of minority-owned businesses in operation for more than the six years, as well as the percentage of minority businesses with annual revenues greater than $500K, rank Cincinnati as number one in the nation.

MLB.com: Your agent, Burton Rocks, told me you are having the time of your life. How much fun are you having? Jim Riggleman: I have to preface it by saying working with and for [former Reds manager] Bryan Price was great. I love Bryan. It was kind of like when I was with Manny [Acta in Washington]. They managed well. It's just that they couldn't win ballgames. After a while, that just catches up to you. The other side of that is, now that I've become the manager, I do, absolutely, love it. I'm enjoying it to the nth degree. It's what I love to do. MLB.com: Once you took over, what made the team click? Riggleman: I think a couple of things: After about a week into the season, Eugenio Suarez got hit by a pitch and broke a finger. He was out for about three weeks. And then right around the same time, Scott Schebler, our right fielder, had a shoulder issue, and we put him on the DL for a couple of weeks.

  • Baseball Fans Back Lifetime Ban of Pete Rose by 56-42 Percent
    The Harris Poll For release: Sunday AM, September 3, 1989 1989 137 ISSN 0895-7983 BASEBALL FANS BACK LIFETIME BAN OF PETE ROSE BY 56-42 PERCENT By Louis Harris Both baseball fans and the general public endorse Cmissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti's decision to ban Pete Rose from baseball for life. Baseball fans support the Comnissioner's action by 56-42 percent, while the entire public backs his action by a slightly closer 52-41 percent according to this Harris Poll, taken by telephone, between August 25th and 29th among a representative cross section of 1,250 adults nationwide, including 884 baseball fans. while these results show a sizable minority who would not have taken such drastic action, they represent a dramatic change of heart on the part of both the public and baseball fans from last March when the charges against the former Cincinnati Reds manager were first made. Back then, a solid 55 percent majority would have simply had the Comissioner take him to task for betting on baseball, but then would have "given [him] another chance." Now the fans believe Commissioner Giamatti was right by a 14 point margin. The reasons are evident from this special Harris Sports Survey: -- An 84 percent majority of baseball fans are convinced that Rose was guilty of betting on baseball games. Such an infraction of baseball's rules could bring him an automatic suspension from the game for one year. -- A 68-22 percent majority of baseball fans are also convinced that Rose was guilty of betting on his own team, the Reds.

  • ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds
    ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds Located on the winding banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, the Great American Ball Park is home to the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional franchise. The ballpark, built next door to the Reds’ former home, Riverfront Stadium, officially opened for the 2003 season. Equally as enthusiastic as their hometown fans, the ballpark’s management team continues to improve the ballpark’s energy performance and is a leader among stadiums nationwide. Energy Management with ENERGY STAR The Cincinnati Reds were one of the first Major League Baseball teams to join ENERGY STAR as a partner in 2008 and use ENERGY STAR resources to track energy usage, improve energy performance, and communicate their efforts to staff and the public. Improving energy performance is an important environmental strategy for the Reds and they have received kudos from local officials and enhanced loyalty from fans for leading by example. The ballpark operations management team benchmarks the ballpark’s energy performance using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Portfolio Manager, an online energy tool to track whole-building energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. By inputting historical energy data going back to 2007, and ongoing monthly energy consumption and cost information, the Reds are able to measure progress and quantify improvements. To date, the ballpark’s energy intensity is 27 percent better than the national average for entertainment buildings1, even with an off-season construction project during the winter of 2009. As part of their energy management plan, the ballpark’s building operations management team implemented several energy conservation measures and integrated energy efficient technologies into the ballpark’s infrastructure.

  • Bridewell V. Cincinnati Reds 155 F.3D 828 (6Th Cir
    Bridewell v. Cincinnati Reds 155 F.3d 828 (6th Cir. 1998) Authored by Ashley Hollan The maintenance staff working for the Cincinnati Reds (“Reds”) at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio brought suit against the Reds in 1998, asserting that the baseball franchise violated § 207 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1). The maintenance staff claimed the Reds violated the FLSA when they refused to pay the staff overtime (time plus one-half) for the hours that the staff worked exceeding 40 hours per week. The Reds claimed they should not be required to pay overtime as required by the FLSA because the franchise constitutes an amusement or recreational establishment that operated for less than seven months per year under § 213(a)(3)(A) of the FLSA. The district court granted summary judgment to the Reds, agreeing that the franchise’s seasonal operation serves to exempt the Reds from paying overtime. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, noting that the proper focus was not the duration of the baseball season, but on the fact that the Reds organization operated year-round with no fewer than 120 employees in the “off-season” and the case was remanded. In the appeal at hand the Reds challenged the decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing the seasonal operation of the franchise should suffice to exempt the Reds from paying overtime. The Reds cited § 213(a)(3), which exempts from the FLSA’s overtime provisions any employee employed by an establishment if it does not operate for more than seven months in any calendar year, or during the preceding calendar year, its average receipts for any six months of such year were not more than 33 1/3 per centum of its average receipts for the other six months of such year.

  • A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St
    A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, 1950-1970 AARON COWAN n the latter years of the 1960s, a strange phenomenon occurred in the cities of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. Massive white round Iobjects, dozens of acres in size, began appearing in these cities' down- towns, generating a flurry of excitement and anticipation among their residents. According to one expert, these unfamiliar structures resembled transport ships for "a Martian army [that] decided to invade Earth."1 The gigantic objects were not, of course, flying saucers but sports stadiums. They were the work not of alien invaders, but of the cities' own leaders, who hoped these unusual and futuristic-looking structures would be the key to bringing their struggling cities back to life. At the end of the Second World War, government and business leaders in the cities of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and St. Louis recognized that their cities, once proud icons of America's industrial and commercial might, were dying. Shrouded in a haze of sulphureous smoke, their riparian transportation advantages long obsolete, each city was losing population by the thou- sands while crime rates skyrocketed. Extensive flooding, ever the curse of river cities, had wreaked havoc on all three cities' property values during 1936 and 1937, compounding economic difficulties ushered in with the Riverfront Stadium in Great Depression. While the industrial mobilization of World War II had Cincinnati. Cincinnati brought some relief, these cities' leaders felt less than sanguine about the Museum Center, Cincinnati Historical Society Library postwar future.2 In 1944, the Wall Street Journal rated Pittsburgh a "Class D" city with a bleak future and little promise for economic growth.
