C. Trent Rosecrans | Cincinnati Reds Insider

Were pleased to welcome from Dyer's bill now that his work is John Trent Rosecrans, who covers the Reds for the athletic Trent just to start out as I want to get your thoughts on this. What was it like to be there for a baseball game at the field of dreams were out of trouble doing. There are so many emotions abroad that I did not realize it would partially walk my father, Larry sure bold about that was a big part of our relationship, washer, watch the roof like another one was about to be there super excited although you about .0 will really help you, probably from parallel go through Joey father talked about his father, Bob lost her father 14 years ago here talking to David Bell, third-generation leader before the game trailer with your talking a little like my gameplay I don't I don't really remember anything about remember so much about the about. Thank you for sharing that with us for sure.

And you're right there a lot of emotions around this for a lot of people. I David Bell doing an interview on TV and getting emotional before the game when Ken Rosenthal asked about his brother who he lost to cancer last year and so I appreciate you sharing that with us Trent. It still feels so significant that were able to get an actual baseball game out there and nowhere else in the world would it make any sense for athletes to walk out of a cornfield and get it so perfect today are in Dyer's bill Iowa to walk the walk through a cornfield.

How it was really cool. I brought my dog.

I felt like a group of 12.

I'm glad I did baseball and really this facility makes all of those options available where you get that on a major-league field. Why is that you think. Build your employee major-league baseball one day about the people you're going to talk about about the way it was my game but yet had a lot of similarities to All-Star just that dichotomy and it was really meant. I know last year was so much better and go great game lecture, barefoot. I don't think you can be here a person and not that's not too much about the game it's about the atmosphere and about the nostalgia that that's around that Whole Pl., Trent Rosecrans covered the field of dreams game between the Reds and the Cubs. I still there in Dyer's bill Iowa is joining us here after hours on CBS sports radio. I was pretty blown away when I saw the gravies walk out of the cornfield that gave me chills to to hear Ken Griffey Junior say to his dad.

Hey dad want to have a catch you chance to talk to Ken Griffey Junior before the game what to say about the experience so a lot of fun with you about the interview monograph around their fathers and thought we all have our times together was really relaxed. How to correct them on the line you got this what you're up to now.

I'll be at work at all and so you all over you know you and youth outreach really important to help growing the day with the next generation, the passion of both the college football and baseball player like what my dad never pushed me for export goods group and baseball but woke one football and like the game is still important so much and loves it so much. Your story but I was talking with Dr. love will talk about what we have this discussion. Like the opportunity to truly spanking the ring finger and the pinky section of the call for the last one being middle finger ring finger slot the next 10 and then the prospect of a call.

Yeah.

Also, the pocket pocket the bumpers there like I'm 46 is old. That's really my goodness. Where else would that happen, except for the field of dreams that that's fitting. Trent Rosecrans is covering the game at the field of dreams in Iowa for the athletic and and follow the Cincinnati Reds, which maybe had an unremarkable season. Except for this unbelievable experience. It's after hours on CBS sports radio.

It's kind of interesting to think about Ken Griffey Junior and his impact on baseball and now going back to his MVP season, which was what late 90s of those mariner's who haven't been back to the playoffs. Since then he Cincinnati Reds years, but I think it's a lot about the current generation of sports fans Trent that you are sad sad if you didn't see Michael Jordan play if you didn't seem Joe Montana throw football to the point where there is a hell of a lot of sports fans out there, did not see Ken Griffey Junior NetSuite swing APs dominated the plate from real Michael Jordan blew my mind because it was like a refresher course work and you oh my gosh, I'm old about making metal talking about Michael Jordan oh my God, I'm an old still, I wouldn't trade it though because they missed the younger kids missed out on seeing some of the greatest of all time.

I wouldn't have traded it. One of my other favorite stretches of the broadcast on Fox is when John Smoltz was Mike that we Joey bottom. Now interestingly enough, we just saw these types of exchanges at the All-Star game in the middle of the game.

It counted so I was fascinated by the way that Joey was able to actually figure out what he was doing out there on the field and still carry on a conversation they talk to them about the fact that he said quote unquote old man and he's spanned a couple of different eras.

Not sure if you had to steer the conversation time with the Reds obviously is he seen so much, the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

Would he mean to that franchise and the fact that he still there. Trent I think you underappreciated how greedy you and think about your talk about spanning your brother. When Joey bottom while one I'm looking out into the and you would see Sean Casey George Foster told Lubrano and he was with Giovanni Soto, one of the 2008 national year employee of the points of 2007. Low. She's now at 38 years old. They were talking to you about whether or not he will continue playing.

He mentioned actually having a conversation with Ken Senior about the fact that Ken played into his 40s, considering where the Reds are identity ever talk about how it's maybe not worth it to go through another stretch like this where they're trying to find their footing and baseball. No go. I will I will never cover anybody else will you believe it line through the use of one-of-a-kind writing about all the experience and his words off the top of the time were better than what I can write like I'm supposed to be a professional writer and probably the greatest generation better. We talked about like pregame and it was unbelievably about, but how it regulated here act of playing catch and how it is kind of relationship that you notes to people you're trying to help you one row. It like where they can catch it and continue the soliloquy you think about all the playgroups were growing up were I would after the game he tweeted thank you Dyer's bill Iowa wanted an all-time experience. You built it. We came with the heart Moji now any man that will use the heart of Moji is a man after my own heart by he for him to be around for this experience it, and he's nearly 30 not access any 38 we got a birthday not that far down the road to to be able to say now that he played in this game to I mean that's that's the type of experience that only so many guys will get a major-league baseball phenomenal coder you know home in Toronto this year there were some first home run in 2012 walks with career pretty much the whole way the privilege at the great story they look good so I I'm really excited, while your and letter will sorely go Trent. We talked a lot about him and can obviously your experience, what about the faces and the words of some of the younger guys even Hispanic players maybe didn't see the movie or it wasn't a big part of their heritage. Growing up, how did they feel about playing their Guerrero also talked about how cool it will wasn't really sure of it.

Talk to Gordon Allport about the 27th next roster spot for the travel and whatnot read called up Chuckie Rob who captured breakout from two years ago. Call up first on the 40 man roster and all of while you are joining the box. The boy later this week, but the red can ship more remarkable. The problem Dr. Romano seven Michael Gursky coming up for not anything benign and he had a little look back for him. When the final out was made well Chuckie was made to you. Well just sent down without having probably without having about like like not have all of the player game just about the replacement about ever so what honestly would cover for the project. I really want to talk about what I'm writing about the cop said my my love to capture what happened with the don't care I'm not going to write about that care about that. I don't know the one thing you do try to think of.

I'm good torque.
