I just read a report on the NY Post website that Harold Reynolds was fired? Is this true? Has anyone else heard this? Reynolds was the whole reason why I watched Baseball Tonight!

Report: Reynolds fired by ESPN amid sexual harassment accusation
July 26, 2006
NEW YORK (AP) -- Harold Reynolds was fired by ESPN from his job as a baseball analyst after he was accused of sexual harassment, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
The former Gold Glove-winning second baseman, a member of the "Baseball Tonight" team for 11 years, said he didn't do anything to warrant his dismissal and wants his job back.
"It was a total misunderstanding," Reynolds told the Post. "My goal is to sit down and get back. To be honest with you, I gave a woman a hug and I felt like it was misinterpreted."
The newspaper, quoting sources, reported that the woman is an ESPN employee.
On Tuesday, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said Reynolds, 45, made his last on-air appearance for the network Sunday night. ESPN refused to comment on previous reports that Reynolds was dismissed, or to provide any details regarding his departure.
"All I can say is he is no longer working here," Krulewitz said.
Reynolds, who played 12 major league seasons, joined ESPN in 1996. In addition to his work on "Baseball Tonight," he also covered the College World Series and the Little League World Series.
ESPN already was dealing with the loss of another baseball analyst, Peter Gammons, who has been off the air since he was stricken with a brain aneurysm on June 27.

Harold Reynolds was the worst. If it is true that he got fired it's a good thing. Bring on John Flaherty.

Yes he was fired. Are you part of the group that doesn't like Kruk?
So many people have made comments (elsewhere) about not liking Kruk and I think he's the best one on there. Just wondering why?

Yes he was. That's because baseball sucks and ESPN sucks. Don't watch it.

Yes he was. Didn't it seem weird to you that he wasn't on BT last night?
