I was standing with Sue in her Reds gear at HoHoKam Park aka Wrigley Field Southwest. A relieved Red fan with a look of genuine relief said, "Thank God. I thought I would be the only one." Much like a series at Great American Ballpark, blue Cubs jerseys dominate.
Former Reds' manager, Lou Piniella, greeted me also but only because I was standing at the batting cage with Hal McCoy. Seriously, he recognized me from Cincinnati although he was in his last season when I started working Reds games for SportsTicker.
Piniella was great. He told us all he needs is a middle reliever.
Then he gave us more valuable advice.
"There's a Mexican restraunt in North Scottsdale with the best magaritas around," Piniella said. "I told my players, drink the first one, sip the second one and refuse the third. My wife (Anita) took my advice but I didn't. Then she drove me home so I wouldn't go to Tent City."
Mariacopa County Sherrif, Joe Arpaio, is tough on "guests" of the county jail.
He puts them in tents. There is no AC in 100 degree heat. The prisoners use outhouses. They are fed three meals, all are bologna sandwhiches, beans and milk.
