Bob Castellini President Quotations

We're proud to announce that the president will join us for the start of this new beginning for Cincinnati Reds baseball.

This was fun. The sitting president to come out and throw the first ball? That's a great honor for your baseball team, your fans, your city, your region. That doesn't happen very often. First time in 130 years it happened here. It's something we were proud of and wanted to go without a hitch and it certainly did.

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

It's been an exhilarating day. We had everything go right for us but the outcome of the game, but that's baseball. The weather went right, the parade went well, the president throwing out the first pitch went flawless.

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.
