Today is day 14 and I will celebrate Cincinnati’s best that should be in their respective leagues’ Hall of Fames! #PutThemInTheHall #14andcounting

Ozzie Smith got all the accolades because he did backflips, but there was not a better shortstop during his career than Davey Concepcion! The reason I love basketball is because of the Holmes teams of the mid 70’s and Doug Schloemer was a key figure! #13andcounting

Day 12 potpourri! I only have 1 more Monday!!!!!!!! #12andcounting

The Captain, Barry Larkin, headlines day 11. I also have to give a shoutout to my daughter’s, em carr, favorite UK player, John Wall! Also, one of my favorite UK players and former Holmes Bulldog Dicky Beal! #11andcounting

Day 10 allows me the honor of displaying my favorite athlete that wore #10! My daughter, Emilee, receives this honor today! She started playing basketball at an early age as evident from her Eagle Hoops days! #10andcounting

Joey B says this way to retirement. I’m in single digits! #9andcounting

The Captain and SGA headline day 2 of my retirement count down! #2andcounting #anxious

My lovely bride Carla Carr and son Brady Carr represent day 1 of my retirement countdown. I love them both dearly! The photo of Brady is when he walked 7 straight batters and got the win back in D1 knothole baseball for the Chipotle Eagles!

DAY ZERO!!!!! 🎉 🥳 🙌 Today I celebrate the institutions I have worked at throughout my teaching/coaching career. While it is bittersweet, it is time! Each place has provided me immense joy, growth and many happy memories. Thank you Holmes, Scott & SK. Time to pass the torch!

In Cleveland with Carla Carr for the Reds series with the India…….errr Guardians.

Not just because of today’s game, but the Cubs fans suck! I despise them at Wrigley and especially despise them at GABP!

Why does John Sadak have to fill every moment of a Reds game with words? Most of the time it is an irrelevant comment! It’s okay for silence and the game to speak for itself.

Happy Daughter’s Day to the best little girl em carr in the entire world!
