Reds May 2023 Games Thread

[kevin]

You have Joe and Marty honored at GABP but also Waite Hoyt. The long time Reds announcer who was a star pitcher in the Babe Ruth ere of Yankees. He had a lot of great Yankees stories. One was in Roaring 20's playing in Chicago, they went to a speak easy. Joking, they said they wanted to meet The Boss. These Mob guys took them back into the office and suddenly the joke wasn't so funny. He said they saw 3 great men, a picture of Washington and Lincoln and behind a desk in the middle was Al Capone. Turned out Big Al enjoyed meeting The Yankees.....Often Waite would say Babe Ruth did so much for children and was a good guy, and nobody better not say anything bad about The Babe around him. ...So remembering Waite Hoyt a Yankees play at Cincinnati. I think Hoyt is honored at both Yankee Stadium and Cincinnati Ball Park, and I think the Hall of Fame.
