My memories a little hazy. I'm not sure if Marty was ever on FSN. It
may have been when Reds games were still broadcast on local channels.
Used to be lots of Reds games on the local channels in Cincy and
Dayton. As you know, that practice was gradually phased out. I'm not
sure if opening day is still broadcast the local channel anymore.
