Firefighters are true heroes. I can understand why people have issues with the police, but firefighters don't have any of that baggage.They are just plain awesome.

To the play-by-play announcer;
That's Cincinnati's Bravest, not Finest! The Finest are the Police.

Those bats fall apart pretty easily, as you can clearly see. Kinda like the Reds lineup.

Imagine there was a strikeout and after the firefighters were going down the ladder they turned the fire on and they thought it was back again
