After leaving the Slugger factory, we got some pizza in Louisville, and were told it was the "best pizza in America, including NY and Boston."  The pizza was good.  After that, we drove to Churchill downs, and were able to catch 5 races.  The track itself is beautiful as well as historic.  We saw plaques dedicated to famous Derby winners, statues, and of course the beautiful Twin Spires.  It was a hot day, but we managed to sit out in the sun for all of the races, right by the finish line! 

After driving back to Cincinnati, we parked and headed straight to Great American Ballpark for the Reds game.  The park is built right on the Ohio River, and has some nice features: a party deck resembling a river boat, a split upper deck, a mist dispenser for hot fans, and a fancy Griffey Jr. home run counter.  The game included 6 home runs, and an extra innings finish.  The Reds lost control of the game late, and fell apart in the 11th, when they gave up two runs to a power hitting Indians team.  We had great seats, and Alon even got a ball in the end of the game!  We are currently somewhere in the middle of Indiana, driving towards St. Louis for tomorrow's afternoon game against the LA Angels.  See you there!
