En route to the ballpark we stopped at a replica of the Crosley Field outfield fence that stands in I believe Blue Ash, a Cincinnati neighborhood.
It has a recreation of the scoreboard at Crosley Field, where the Reds played 1912-1970 before moving to Riverfront Stadium. The numbers on the scoreboard are the same as they were on the June 1970 day when the Reds played their last game at Crosley Field.
We had a good time guessing identifying the numbers. Nos. 24 and 44 of the 1970 San Francisco Giants were easy, as was No. 14 of the Reds. Who was Cincinnati's No. 31 that year? He pitched that day. I guessed Gary Nolan, but I was told I was not correct.
