We understand that opening day for baseball in Cincinnati is an unofficial holiday in that city.
The Icon stringer, Anne Steiner of Cincinnati, did like most people in the Queen City. She took the day off She also and took photos of the 98th annual opening day parade.
The parade had 189 entries including lots of famous faces! Reds Hall-of-Famer Sean Casey was the parade Grand Marshal.
