The Reds couldn’t deliver a win during the Yankees’ three-game visit to the Queen City this weekend, but the perfect baseball weather gave fans a bright-sided experience at Great American Ballpark. Photographer Ron Valle captured the passionate fandom from both teams, including one Pete Rose who had a front-row seat for the Reds’ 7-4 loss on May 20. Hopefully Pete didn’t have any money on his alma mater, as the Yankees also beat the Reds 6-2 on Friday, May 19 and 4-1 on Sunday, May 21.
