MLB Network profile: Diminished eyesight doesn’t deter veteran Cincy Reds reporter

Make a point of seeing this story:

From MLB Network:

MLB Network will profile longtime Cincinnati Reds beat writer Hal McCoy Tuesday on MLB Tonight (6 p.m.). It centers on McCoy, who is legally blind, and Ray Snedegar, who was hired by McCoy before the 2013 season began to drive him to and from every Reds home game. Snedegar is a 31-year U.S. Air Force veteran and recent widower who volunteered to make the 180-mile roundtrip drive.

This feature continues their story by following McCoy and Snedegar on their drives to and from Great American Ballpark for two days earlier this month. MLB Network equipped Snedegar’s car with two wallet-sized GoPro cameras over the roundtrip drives to give insight into their daily routine, how McCoy now watches a baseball game (at one point in the feature, McCoy says that he has not seen a home run land since 2003), and how revered McCoy is by Reds players, manager Dusty Baker and fans as he and Snedegar walk through the ballpark before and after games.
