Though “mulligan” is a golf term, it may be a good time to start using it in baseball. With “Kids Opening Day” on Saturday, the Reds have the chance for a do-over of their home-opener, hopefully with a more successful outcome.

This time, they’ll have Big Boy on their side!

Frisch’s Big Boy is officially kicks off its 75th anniversary celebration by partnering with the Reds on Saturday, April 23 for Kids Opening Day presented by Frisch’s Big Boy, with a full day of fun before the Cincinnati Reds take on the St. Louis Cardinals at 4:10 p.m.

The Kids Opening Day red carpet parade kicks off at 11:15 a.m. with kids lining up outside the ballpark along Joe Nuxhall Way to see Reds mascots, Frisch’s Big Boy, and others walk the red carpet. Around noon, Reds players will walk the red carpet to greet fans.

Fans can get their photo taken with Big Boy and try the new Frisch's Big Boy sliders, the Official Slider of the Cincinnati Reds. (Though Nick Lodolo’s slider is coming in a close second!)

Fans who show the Frisch's Big Boy app get a free string bag while supplies last as well as coupons for free kids meals.

After the gates open at GABP, fans can enjoy Kids Opening Day activities in the First Star Fan Zone. The party features circus performers, face painters, mascots, a performance by the Cincinnati School of Rock, and more.

Kids can line up after the game to run the bases, with line priority for Reds Heads kids club members.

Fans attending the game will receive a free 2022 Reds calendar, presented by Kroger, while supplies last.
