Description
Cincinnati embraced the first pro ballplayers, the 1869 Red Stockings, & since then, the lavish Opening Day celebrations have become a matter of pride for the whole city. The 2003 season was the grandest celebration of Reds baseball that the city has ever seen, thanks to the opening of Great American Ball Park, a $325 million marvel. A national audience tuned in to watch Cincinnati host the Pittsburgh Pirates on March 31, 2003. Here, join an illustrious cast of photographers as they explore the new home of Reds baseball to snap images of the city's annual celebration in full-color. Every page captures the excitement of the fans, the historic Findlay Market Parade, an inside tour of the Ball Park, the field, & the players who made it all possible.
