The Fox Sports Net Club of the Great American Ball Park hosted 110 women for its "Baseball 101 Luncheon for Ladies." The event raised more than $10,800 for the Cincinnati Reds Community Fund.

Master of ceremonies was Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman. Also on hand were Reds first baseman Sean Casey and his wife, Mandi; pitcher John Reidling and his wife, Mary; and coach Tom Hume and his wife, Susan.

The next "Baseball 101" luncheon is scheduled for July 19 and will feature Reds manager Dave Miley and his wife, Andrea; pitcher Danny Graves and his wife, Andrea; and catcher Jason LaRue and his wife, Heather.
