RIP Bill Reynolds

[Small Town Guy]

Wasn't as familiar with his newspaper work but I, and many, many others, was a huge fan of his books. Saw on Twitter it was Alzheimer's.

Oh wow, that sucks. As a kid growing up in Rhode Island, his Saturday column was always a must read - one of those whimsical, Dave Barry or Larry King-but-sports kind of things that were the forerunners to blogs. The man loved basketball, especially college basketball. I'd frequently see him at games he wasn't covering, just because he obviously loved the sport.

 

[Corky Ramirez up on 94th St.]

Two things I remember about his columns (which I enjoyed reading):

A) "(Former Sox player) is hitting .325. Why can't we get players like him?"
B) Bunky.

RIP to a Rhode Island great.
