Bobby BinderI grew up in Los Angeles but remained a die hard Reds fan. My dad was friends with Tommy LaSorda and when I was about 14 they call me at home and speak to Tommy. He asked who was my favorite team told him Reds. He then asked what could he do to make me a Dodger fan. Told him to get me a Johnny Bench autograph. About a month later the Reds where is town and shortly after I got a personalized ball from Johnny via Tommy. It was great going to the games with my dad we would always visit Tommy after the game and would introduce me to players and give me autographed pictures and bats. One time it was family day and we got to sit in the dugout with all the other players families.
