Send us Fan MailWe Love Our Team with Governor Andy BeshearJack Greiner and Randy Freking welcome Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a lifelong Reds fan, for a fast-moving conversation that blends baseball memories, Reds history, and a few political leadership takeaways. Beshear shares why the Reds have been part of his life since childhood, names his all-time favorites, and weighs in on everything from the pitch clock to favorite announcers.In this episode, the governor also talks about the players and moments that shaped his fandom, including Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., the 1990 World Series, and the impact of Louisville and Lexington talent in MLB. The result is a playful but thoughtful Reds-centric conversation with a true fan who knows the team and the game.Key topicsBeshear explains that baseball was the sport he loved most growing up and says he played with “good fundamentals,” mostly at third base, first base, and eventually pitcher.He recalls going to Reds games with his dad, including zoo visits in Cincinnati and doubleheaders fueled by chili cheese coneys.When asked about managers, he points to Lou Piniella and Davy Johnson as winners who built strong culture and got the most from their players.For the Reds decision he would change, he chooses the Ken Griffey Jr. signing, arguing that the contract eventually became too costly and hurt roster flexibility.His Reds Mount Rushmore is Tony Pérez, Johnny Bench, Eric Davis, and Barry Larkin, with Larkin singled out as his favorite player of all time.For dinner party guests, he picks TJ Friedl, Jose Canseco, and Freddie Freeman, saying Friedl can help him get the scoop on John Calipari and Freeman's practice habits are worth studying.His go-to ballpark food is the hot pretzel, not multiple chili cheese coneys.His most memorable Reds memory is Game 2 of the 1990 World Series, when Joe Oliver delivered the winning hit in extra innings at Riverfront Stadium.If he needs a clutch Reds hitter, he wants a pre-injury Ken Griffey Jr. at the plate, with Tony Pérez or Barry Larkin as backups.On the mound in the ninth, he calls for Rob Dibble, praising the intimidation and velocity of one of the Nasty Boys.His favorite baseball movie is The Natural, though he acknowledges Field of Dreams and Major League as worthy rivals.For a walk-up song, he chooses Tyler Childers' “Universal Sound,” which he also used at his inauguration.He supports several modern baseball changes, including the pitch clock, challenges on balls and strikes, and the double first base.For a fight, he picks Jim Thome, calling him built like a tree trunk.His nicest player is Andy Green, and his favorite current Reds hair belongs to the towering first baseman who came from the Rockies.Favorite announcer: John Smoltz, for his pitch-by-pitch analysis.Favorite mascot: Mr. Red, chosen as the traditional pick.In a speed race, he says Deion Sanders beats Billy Hamilton and Elly De La Cruz, based on seeing Sanders turn a routine single into a triple.Timestamps(00:00) Governor Andy Beshear joins the Reds podcast and explains why he is a lifelong fan (01:14) Childhood baseball background and his son's Division III commitment (02:10) Going to Reds games with his dad and favorite ballpark memories (03:02) Favorite managers and what winning culture looks like (04:04) The Reds decision he would reverse: the Ken Griffey Jr. signing (05:34) Reds Mount Rushmore: Pérez, Bench, Davis, and Larkin (06:28) Dinner party guests: TJ Friedl, Jose Canseco, and Freddie Freeman (09:11) Favorite ballpark food and why the hot pretzel wins (09:50) Remembering Game 2 of the 1990 World Series (11:29) Clutch Reds hitter: pre-injury Ken Griffey Jr. (12:13) Best bullpen arm: Rob Dibble and the Nasty Boys (13:18) Favorite baseball movie: The Natural (14:05) Walk-up song and why Tyler Childers fits the moment (16:25) The pitch clock, replay challenges, and the double first base (19:27) Jim Thome as the guy you want in a bench-clearing brawl (19:54) Nicest Red: Andy Green (20:22) Best head of hair on a Reds player (22:28) Favorite announcer: John Smoltz (23:23) Favorite mascot: Mr. Red (24:05) Deion Sanders vs. Billy Hamilton vs. Elly De La Cruz in a base race Jack thanks the listeners
