In his final season of broadcasting for the Cincinnati Reds, Marty Brennaman had a first at Great American Ball Park.

For the first time ever, Brennaman watched the game from the stands with his wife, Amanda Brennaman.

Amanda Brennaman posted a picture from the seats as the pair settled in to watch the Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-6 Monday night. People were a bit surprised, she said.

"I told him no talking and no social media during the game. It’s the rules!" Amanda Brennaman wrote.

Marty had the night off but needed to be at the park for some pregame events so she suggested they sit in the stands, according to the post.

"It was fun and Marty enjoyed interacting with fans who seemed to be more than a bit surprised to see him as a regular fan. We didn’t stay that long but we enjoyed the ten run second inning and eventual Reds win," she wrote on Facebook.

Marty Brennaman announced his retirement during the annual luncheon for radio affiliates ahead of the 2019 season.

He started his career with the Reds in 1974 and won the Ford C. Frick Award from the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.

In 2005, he was inducted in the National Radio Hall of Fame.
