Bob Castellini Great Quotations

I was very grateful for his special advisory help the last two weeks. It's been great. He's a great baseball man and a great individual. He'll be a general manager again.

The expectations that are out there for a turnaround, everyone is ready for a winning season with the Reds and that's been a great support system. When you feel like at the beginning everyone is behind you.

We've got a lot of really great people interested in tackling this job. We're just into (the interview process) one day and I've heard so much about our tradition and how much it's meant to people and why people want to head up the Reds.

This was fun. The sitting president to come out and throw the first ball? That's a great honor for your baseball team, your fans, your city, your region. That doesn't happen very often. First time in 130 years it happened here. It's something we were proud of and wanted to go without a hitch and it certainly did.

He blew us away. He had a great game plan. He was totally prepared.
