Help an Englishman!



My name's Sam, I'm a 29 year-old guy from the North West of England. I've spent the last year or so enjoying baseball, and I've been looking at locking in a team to support. Having recently visited St. Louis, I found Busch Stadium, and the city in general, fascinating but don't really want to choose a team that has had such a huge amount of recent success.

I've watched a fair amount of the Cubs last season, and they seem like the ultimate underdogs in a way, but having just hired Joe Maddon (and apparently being richer than Croesus) it seems like a time that a lot of bandwagon fans are gonna be hopping on to them.

So looking at the NL Central (which is the division I've enjoyed watching the most recently), it's the Reds that I'm drawn to, partly because of the history that the franchise has, as well as the fact that they have an icon who was not only one of the best to play his position in history, but also a Red throughout his career. The Great American Ballpark seems to be in a terrific location as well, right by the river.

So anyways, I just wanted to ask you guys for a bit of input as to what Cincinnati is like for young people, what they love about their team or the stadium, places you enjoy going before/after a game, things like that. Just so I can get an idea of the fanbase of the team and what makes it unique.

Thanks!
