The Cincinnati Reds are red hot right now, which even has Cincinnati Bengals players paying attention.
A Bengals player just threw out the first pitch at a Reds game and it wasn’t too long before that fans saw Joe Burrow himself hitting home runs at Great American Ballpark during batting practice.
Most recently now? Bengals wideout Tee Higgins going to Twitter to ask for a signed Elly De La Cruz jersey.
And why not? As Reds fans surely know, the 21-year-old rookie De La Cruz just hit for the cycle during his team’s 12th straight win on Friday night, becoming the youngest player to hit for the cycle since 1972 and the first for the Reds since 1989.
Here’s the fun comment from Higgins:
Somebody ask Elly De La Cruz if I can get a signed jersey🙏🏾🙏🏾
