I think the Reds should keep Ken Jr. It is mostly personal for me. I saw his dad play as a rookie. The first game I saw Ken Sr. play he lined two home runs of the center field wall. They didn't clear the fence by two feet, but they hit the wall with such force that you could here the pop all over the stadium. I also got to see KGJ grow up. I saw him aas a little kid at the Reds father/son game right thru to him being a teenager. He was always a step above the other kids, always.

I have only been to one major league game...to see the Atlanta Braves..1969, the night that we landed on the moon.

I saw him tie the record in Cincy on opening day 1974 in the "new" riverfront stadium. I thought he would break it in Cincy, but he didn't hit another in that series.
