Nationals’ TV analyst Ray Knight arrested for assault, battery in Va.
I got to know Ray a little bit during my time at D.C., could not have been a nicer guy. I also remember Ray and Rob Dibble getting into it on the air and Ray making mention of what he'd like to do to Rob. I think he's a former Golden Gloves boxer?
I almost put this on the journalism thread. One comment on the Post's website wondered why a misdemeanor charge was new, was Ray Knight that much of a public figure? I'd say he is and this story leaves me with lots of questions.
He's as homer as they come, which in the role as "color guy" on the pre- and post-game shows is pretty much what they want. But he's also gone after them hard when merited and the Nats merit it quite often. I remember right before Chad Cordero's elbow exploded, Ray (who was in the booth for the game that night) kept repeating, "This young man is clearly hurt and should not be in this game."
