American baseball team the Cincinnati Reds (which somehow survived that name through the Cold War) inaugurates their new home stadium, The Great American Ball Park. Ex-President George H.W. Bush threw out the first pitch. What went wrong?

A. The Reds lost the game big-time to the Pirates. And if you know anything about baseball (like I don't) then you would realize just how bad that result was.
B. George H.W. Bush christened the new stadium with an off-color joke about his wife and was surprised when no one laughed.
C. There was a 1/2% tax increase placed upon residents of Hamilton County to help build a friggin' stadium for sports--tax being a thing that most Americans will always say that they are against.
D. B was the only joke I had to make up. Go Reds.
