BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJORS : She Gets Her Schott Back on the Field

Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott made her first appearance on the field since her suspension and came away happy when Lenny Harris doubled home the decisive runs in the Reds’ 6-4 exhibition victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Plant City, Fla.

Schott, suspended last March for using racial and ethnic slurs, had a pregame birthday party on the field for mascot Schottzie 02. She scooped some icing off the cake with her finger, let the dog lick it, then stuck the finger in her mouth and licked the rest.

The Reds won the game with three hits and a walk in the eighth off Jeff McCurry. R.J. Reynolds walked, Thomas Howard singled and Harris doubled to left with one out to break a 4-4 tie.
