REDS

 I went to the Reds game with my daughter and her family yesterday.  It was enjoyable, but not because of the stellar play of the Reds.  Catch this:  we left to go home and watch The Masters on TV and the Reds scored six runs after we had gone and still lost by three.

It takes a lot to own and run a major league baseball team.  Here is an expense you might have overlooked.  The Reds own seven minor league teams - yes, seven!  Here they are from the top down.

AAA  Louisville Bats

AA  Chattanooga Lookouts

High A  Dayton Dragons

Low A  Daytona Tortugas

Rookie Arizona Complex League Reds

Rookie Dominican Summer League Reds

Rookie Dominican Summer League Rojos

These teams don't make money for the organization but you can't get by without them..
