Harold Reynolds, one of ESPN's most visible analysts and a long-time panelist on "Baseball Tonight," has left the network in the wake of one or more incidents of sexual harassment.

An ESPN spokeswoman Tuesday confirmed Reynolds' departure but repeatedly declined to provide a reason for it.

Three people who work at ESPN and were familiar with the case said the cause was a pattern of sexual harassment, apparently culminating in a recent incident involving one of the network's young production assistants.

Reynolds, a major leaguer for 12 seasons before joining ESPN in 1996, did not appear on "Baseball Tonight" Monday after having worked the Sunday show, during which he joined fellow analyst Steve Phillips in suggesting the Yankees trade Alex Rodriguez.

In addition to "Baseball Tonight" Reynolds worked as a game analyst for special events such as the Little League World Series and College World Series.

Reynolds' role had taken on added importance in recent weeks with ESPN missing baseball analyst Peter Gammons, who was stricken with a brain aneurysm June 27. He recently was released from a rehab center, and his return date is undetermined.

Reynolds, 45, is married to Kelley Browne, a 1990 graduate of Omaha Central High, and they have an infant child.

i have heard conflicting reports about why he was fired. one said that he had a meltdown with producers about some of the topics that they were pushing for "baseball tonight" to discuss ad nauseam (i.e.; a-rod, yankees, sox, etc.).

Willie gon teach you how to fuck rookie. And if she dont give up the pussy--take that shit.
