Reds Opening Day Starting Nines: 2024, 2025

First installment of the Reds Opening Day binder. Simple concept. The starting nine on Opening Day, pitcher in the middle, catcher below, then going counterclockwise 1B, 2B, RF, CF, LF, SS, 3B. Brings me much satisfaction. If I can upgrade a card on accident, I will. But I don't try very hard. Did the NL adding the DH a few years ago ruin it? Kinda. DH gets the rear.

 

Posting this as I'm watching my Redlegs against the Sawx on this beautiful day.
