Friday night was all about Louisville men’s basketball coach Pat Kelsey at Louisville Slugger Field, with about 2,000 bobbleheads handed out in his honor. But before he even hit the mound for his first pitch, Bats third base coach Vince Harrison made sure everyone knew exactly where allegiances stood.
A Reds Fan’s “Unbelievable” Moment
It was a huge night for Kelsey, who showed up as the Louisville Bats hosted the Gwinnett Stripers. The guy’s a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan, so getting to meet former Reds center fielder Eric Davis was, in his own words, “unbelievable.” You know that feeling, right? When you meet one of your childhood heroes? Must have been awesome for Kelsey.
The Kentucky Jab That Stole the Show
But here’s the kicker: as Kelsey warmed up his arm before the pitch, Bats third base coach Vince Harrison was playing catch with him. And Harrison, who played both football and baseball for Kentucky, was rocking a Kentucky T-shirt. Yeah, you read that right. He even made sure to remind Kelsey he scored the first-ever touchdown at Louisville’s L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium. Talk about some friendly fire before the game even started!
What a night for Kelsey, getting his bobblehead and throwing out the first pitch. But hey, you gotta respect Harrison for making his statement, even on someone else’s big night. That’s just classic.
