For the 93rd year, Cincinnatians gather today for Opening Day. A very diverse gathering of young and old, men and women, rich and poor, Black, White, Latino, Asian and in between! You can also bet that a good percentage of them may not be Reds fans even when dressed in red.
It is an annual ritual for the people of Greater Cincinnati. It is like worship - people coming together for a common purpose.
There is a sense of spirituality in the whole experience. There is togetherness, agreement of minds and thoughts and mutual expectations.
Whether fans or simply residents, the whole community comes together to send off and cheer their representative in the quest for the World Series. It is like saying, “Go on, you have our backing”. The same way warriors would be sent off to battle with the hopes and aspirations of the whole community.
Thus, “How good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes” (Psalm 133:1-2).
Indeed, people, in all their diversity can come together and unleash tremendous power.
