ESPN subpoenaed in lawsuit
Sunday, February 11, 2007
From wire reports
The state of Connecticut has subpoenaed ESPN to produce by next Friday the personnel files of Harold Reynolds, whom the cable network fired in July after 11 years as one of its baseball analysts.
In his $5 million wrongful-termination suit, Reynolds said that ESPN had refused to give him a copy of his files so he could learn why he was fired. He said ESPN had never specified why it dismissed him.
In what is being considered a sexual-harassment case, Reynolds has admitted only to giving a "brief, innocuous" hug to a female intern.
