| Introduction | My name is Mr. Redlegs, and to some I am a humanoid figure dressed in a Reds uniform with an oversized baseball for a head. But to many kids and grown-up kids at heart, me and my older cousin, Mr. Red, symbolize the heart, spirit and tenacity of Cincinnati players and fans that date to the original Red Stockings of 1869. My cousin made his first appearance on a Reds uniform as a sleeve patch in 1955. Since, we have often appeared in advertisements and promotional materials, and during Reds games at the stadiums. The real differences between Mr. Red and myself is he is older and employed by the team; I am not a Reds employee, thus bound to team codes of dress or sensorship. That means I can host a blog and maintain my handlebar mustache, which tickles the ladies when they kiss me! (oh, sigh) |
