Bob Castellini Team Quotations

I wanted someone in this vitally important job who I have selected to lead the team and baseball organization.

Every team would like to have the sitting president of the United States throw out the first ball.

I just asked him, as simple as that. He loves baseball, and we competed with 29 other teams to get him here. I think the President likes to throw a ball out every year. For him to be the first sitting president to do it for our franchise, the Cincinnati Reds, makes us all proud.
