The Return of a Legend

Luckily we turned on the TV this afternoon and stumbled upon the Marlins vs. Cubs game. It was an absolute treat, and the most fun we've had watching a baseball game in a longtime. It was an exciting game between two contending clubs, and it's always fun to watch a day game from Wrigley when the Cubbies win, but what really made the event was the return of Harold Reynolds.

Despite being the best baseball analyst (after Steve Stone) and having one of the most engaging personalities on television, regardless of genre, he was jettisoned from ESPN about two years ago, and we hadn't scene him since.

Paired with Skip Caray (coincidentally our favorite play-by-play guy) today, HR hasn't lost a thing in his time away. Great explanations of the game's intricacies along with that same jovial persona that endears him to his co-host and the audience.

Welcome back Harold, thanks to you, we'll be looking forward to the Sunday afternoon games on TBS for the rest of the season.
