Today Chris reported to play for the Cincinnati Reds, in Sarasota, Florida. He landed around 5:45; the team's trainer picked him up from the airport along with two other players. He got to the hotel and his roommate hadn't gotten there yet. He was going to be arriving around 8:00. The hotel has a nice pool with a tiki bar attached and a restaurant inside. He said it was 95 and very humid (very nice!) This next week he'll be practicing with the other rookies drafted by the Reds. After the week ends he will either be playing for the rookie team in Sarasota or for another rookie team in Billings, Montana (I vote for Montana.) How often do you get to go to Montana? He'll be able to get his cowboy hat that he’s been wanting (: He's going to make us all proud, but how could he make us more proud than we already are?
