…one and done.  So it is for my Cincinnati Reds who couldn’t overcome some untimely key injuries, a general lack of passion, and a hole in LF that never did get filled. I have reached a point in my life that my favorite Reds “player” is long time Hall of Fame radio announcer Marty Brennaman who has been doing Reds games since 1974 and was the baseball voice of my youth. In a sport where player turnover through free agency is great, one roster spot I can always count on is the voice of Marty to punctuate a Reds victory with “And this one belongs to the Reds!”   Unfortunately, it won’t happen again in 2013.
