Harold Reynolds was always one of the "nice guys" in baseball. He was always active with charities and participated in a lot of civic events when he played 2B in Seattle. I was a big fan as a kid, watching him play many games in the Kingdome. He wasn't the most eloquent broadcaster, but I always enjoyed watching him on ESPN. I'm curious to see how this unfolds...
Given the way ESPN sensationalizes sex, violence, and over the top behavior in general, it will be interesting to find out what exactly you have to do to get fired from ESPN ... say something nice about FOX Sports?
I always liked his broadcast style. He actually has some worthwhile commentary, unlike most other commentators.
This doesn't look good though. When the networks don't want to comment it's usually "just about sex." Where have I heard that before....
This is incredible. Reynolds was a thoughtful, well-spoken analyst who never ridiculed players or played the hero-worshiper. He will be missed.
No... no he wasn't, but he did above average work and was paying attention to the game he was covering. Half the schmucks they got out there are too busy trying to be funny, flippant or up on the latest celebrity gossip.
Wilbon, Jason Whitlock, John Saunders, and William Rhoden say that everything MUST be looked at in the perspective of race.
Any bets on how fast they play "The Race Card"?
Always anticipated what Harold had to say....Always seemed to have prudence in his words...
