Now, that it’s been a few days since its breathtaking debut, I’m going to remind all of you to go buy the 2013 SlydePress Redleg Annual. http://www.redlegannual.com. You probably already know what that is, and if you don’t, you’re only reading this blog because you’re my mom or a crazy person with a stalkerish obsession with former College Jeopardy! contestants. Probably the latter, I don’t think my mom actually checks the blog very often.

Anyway, the Annual is edited by Joel Luckhaupt (Red Reporter emeritus, current FSO stats guy, author of Reds books) and Chad Dotson (Redleg Nation). It’s over 24 articles and 78 pages of writing from all over Reds fan – from Mo Egger in the established media, to you know, me. I wrote a chapter matching up the 2013 Reds with historical players. Who did I choose? You will have to read to find out, but as a teaser: I picked three Baseball HOFers. That may seem a little silly, but I explain that too. It’s also got great cover art from the very awesome Elizabeth Metz, who is also drawing every Reds Hall of Famer, here.

 It’s only $4, which is a dang good deal. The writing and content are both excellent – even being unbiased about it, it should be a must-have for Reds plans gearing up for the 2013 season. You can get it in Kindle and Nook formats, or just as a pdf, and print it out yourself. (But that’s a tad less eco-friendly).

You should go buy it! I said so!
