While the Cincinnati Bengals are right in the middle of the offseason, Bengals fans still have the Cincinnati Reds through the summer and the Bengals rivalry with Kansas City is finding its way into baseball as well.
A Bengals fan named Ryan Gallenstein had tickets to Kauffman Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Royals where the Reds are in town. At the game, he wore a Sam Hubbard jersey, who he went to high school with, and sat directly behind home plate
The Chiefs were honored pre-game at Kauffman Stadium, and Gallenstein made sure Cincinnati’s presence was felt the whole game, up on his feet and very loud in the Reds’ 5-4 extra-inning win Monday.
Hubbard said he appreciates the support and reached out to Gallenstein after he saw what happened at the game.
The Cincinnati fan also made it to the game Tuesday where the Reds won 5-4 again, and he wore his Hubbard jersey in the same spot behind home plate.
