Hootie and the Blowfish performed Friday night at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center, and lead singer Darius Rucker told the crowd he wants his favorite team, the Cincinnati Reds, to sign phenom Elly De La Cruz to a long-term deal.
De La Cruz, who doubled against the Los Angeles Dodgers for his first big-league hit June 6 of last year, collected his league-leading 33rd stolen base during the Reds’ 3-2 win Friday night against the Chicago Cubs.
Rucker, one of the most well-known celebrity Reds supporters, projected that the team would win the 2019 World Series.
In 2017, Rucker told Jim Day of Bally Sports Ohio that he grew up loving the Big Red Machine and continued to be a Reds fan.
