Opening Day Delay

3/26/2020

2 Comments

 
     In my years, there have only been two times in the history of baseball that *Opening Day* did not happen for the Reds in their hometown of Cincinnati  - - the place where I was born and the place where the momentous spring occasion is celebrated as an official holiday with a home game regularly scheduled for the Reds since Cincinnati is the official birthplace of major league baseball.  The first time was in 1966 ( the year I was born ) and due to April showers, the celebrated beginning of the season was delayed.  The second time was in 1990 and the reason that year was because of a lockout and labor dispute within the MLB.  A week into the schedule however, baseball came back to Cincinnati as the Reds went on to celebrate that new 1990 season and did not stop until the team brought home a Wire-to-Wire World Series Championship.
 
​
    Needless to say, this year the delay to the start of the baseball season due to the pandemic is most unfortunate. Nevertheless, on this day that was scheduled to be Opening Day 2020 in Cincinnati and all around the United States, I’m celebrating all that can go right and ideal in the game of baseball regardless of what external or internal conditions may alter its course. It is in that spirit that once again, I celebrate this collection of resilient team players that thirty years ago, despite the delay in the season’s beginning, went on to conquer the World Series in Sweeping *Wire-to-Wire* fashion.

  
​   Below are some pictures of my signature *Mosaic Bobblehead Painting* of those 1990 World Series Champions of baseball.  - -  More about this artwork can be found in my blog: "My Wire-to-Wire Summer with Twelve Stars and A Piece of American History"  which also includes a video of the old high-tech Riverfront/Cinergy Field scoreboard in action.

It is sad that your opening day got delayed, but what can you do? This is truly unfortunate, but we need to follow protocol. If it is for our health and for our community, then we need to take is easy. I already know what people are thinking about, and it is not what matters. We all need to think about the things that do, and that is to stay safe during times like this, remember that, please, I beg you.

Yes, what matters is taking responsibility for the well being of ourselves and our communities. Listening to the medical and health professionals... I am very thankful for them. ~ Be safe and be well!

    I am a 'self-taught' artist who can hardly remember a day when I wasn't in the process of creating something... Thanks for visiting my site where I can share some of my work.
