I'm guessing for these guys it's a wide open opportunity since there's likely a saturation point among reporters in Dallas. As I recall from living in the Dallas area every time Jerry Jones farted everyone just had to do a story about it. For a no-name reporter that's like reporting on the taste of McDonald's fries from Jupiter, maybe Pluto.
Cincinnati beat reporters seem to want to move on to bigger towns and more opportunity and think just how many locals (Players mostly) in Cincinnati went on to bigger and brighter things elsewhere.. Seems like a legit stepping stone for them. As for the local papers and other beat reporting venues..there's not really that many left.
Perhaps Hal McCoy was the last of a dying breed who still reports on the Reds even though he only does a few features these days for the Dayton Daily rag.. I don't really follow Cincinnati local reporters though so perhaps I'm just spouting off nonsense. It wouldn't exactly be the first time I ever did that.. No wait..Yes it would. I've never spouted nonsense. I merely screamed it from mountain tops..
I'm guessing Ben Baby has to be tough. Nobody could grow up with that name and not be tough.. How would you like to be 8 years old with the last name of Baby?
