The Big Red Machine was a talented team that was built around young players like Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, and Tony Perez.Free agency has made it difficult for teams to build dynasties, as players often move from team to team.Analytics can be useful in baseball, but the best managers still rely on their instincts and the eye test.Leadership and veteran presence are important factors in a team's success.Hal McCoy's favorite managers are Lou Piniella and Jack McKeon.Hal McCoy has fond memories of covering the Reds and has regrets about missing his sons' athletic events.Hal McCoy prefers LaRosa's over Cassano's, Skyline over Gold Star, and United Dairy Farmers over Graeter's.Sound Bites"I may have been the only sportswriter ever to tell a manager he was fired.""I wrote a column saying, you know, it was good that Joe was leaving.

Hal McCoy is synonymous with the Cincinnati Reds. The Hall of Fame writer for the Dayton Daily News has been covering baseball's oldest professional franchise since 1973. Hal tells about the egos, talent, and inner workings of the Big Red Machine. Learn why the great Sparky Anderson was fired, and how Vern Rapp learned his same fate. Hear about Pete Rose's return to Cincinnati and his ultimate downfall. Hal explains why Joe Morgan quit talking to him, why Eric Davis was his all-time favorite player, and why Lou Piniella once forgot to fill out a lineup card. And Hal explains how a pep talk from Aaron Boone kept him writing after he lost nearly all his eyesight. You'll feel like one of baseball's great writers is taking you out to the old ballgame. McCoy was honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002 as winner of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award, which is awarded annually “for meritorious contributions to baseball writing.” He has covered more than 7,000 Major League Baseball games and chronicled the day-to-day news of three World Series championship teams (1975, '76 and '90) and nine Division winners. Hal has been chair of the Cincinnati chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America 22 times, and he served as the BBWAA national president in 1997. He has won 52 Ohio and national writing awards and was the first non-Cincinnati newspaper writer to be elected to the Cincinnati journalists Hall of Fame. Hal is a member of the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame, as well as the Irish-American Baseball Hall of Fame. Dayton honored him with a stone on the city's Walk of Fame, and the press box at Dayton's Howell Field is named after him. Hal officially retired after the 2009 season after making nearly ever road trip with the Reds for nearly four decades, but he has never stopped writing about the team. He still covers Cincinnati's home games from the ballpark for “The Real McCoy” blog on the Dayton Daily News website and for HalMcCoy.com. His “Ask Hal” columns appear in the paper's Sunday print edition. Hal writes about the Reds' games from the road off television – and weighs in on other sports topics – for his “Observations from the Man Cave” column on his own website. Hal also covers University of Dayton basketball and football for PressProsMagazine.com. McCoy's career began at the Dayton Journal Herald in 1964, two years after the Akron native graduated with honors from Kent State University's School of Journalism. Hal played college baseball (first base) on a partial scholarship and was a teammate of Gene Michael, a future player and general manager for the New York Yankees. In 1966, Hal took a job at the Detroit Free Press to cover Michigan and Michigan State football, but he returned to Dayton in '67 to work for the Daily News. His original beats were Dayton Flyers basketball and auto racing. He also covered the Cleveland Browns, the defunct NBA Cincinnati Royals, golf, the University of Miami (Ohio) and high schools. By the late 1960s, he was the paper's backup Reds' writer. In 1973, his editor asked him to choose a fulltime beat: Reds or Bengals. He picked baseball and has never left the game. Hal lives in Englewood, Ohio, with his wife, Nadine.

First, Ladson chats with Aaron's father and Nationals vice president and senior advisor to the general manager Bob Boone to discuss why Aaron will be able to unite the players and the organization. Reds sportswriter Hal McCoy joins Ladson on the show to tell the story of how Aaron Boone urged him to continue his career after suffering two strokes in his optic nerves and losing most of his eyesight. Next, Blue Jays broadcaster Dan Shulman explains why he thought Boone would become a manager one day and how he has the great ability of dissecting the game. Former Reds general manager Jim Bowden talks about why he drafted Boone as a player and the characteristics that will make him a great manager.
Could the Reds finish second or third in the National League Central? Andy Furman talked Reds baseball with baseball reporter Hal McCoy. Hal McCoy has covered the Reds since 1973. He is partially retired now, but he still covers Reds home games for the Dayton Daily News and for his blog halmccoy.com. In 2015, McCoy was inducted in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association's Hall of Fame. McCoy said the Reds have shown him a lot this season and could be much better than anticipated. McCoy said last year's Reds bullpen was the worst he had ever seen. This year the bullpen has been lights out. That has been his biggest surprise. "That's probably the reason they are 9-6 instead of 6-9," McCoy said. McCoy said he thinks 40-year-old starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo will only get better and will stick around for awhile on the team. Plus, Furman and Ken Broo discuss why FC Cincinnati is getting bigger crowds than the Reds and whether U.S. Bank Arena will get replaced in a bid to bring the NCAA tournament to Cincinnati. 0:45 - Furman and Broo talk Reds and how baseball stacks up to soccer in Cincinnati 6:16 - Will U.S. Bank Arena get a new facility to bring NCAA to Cincinnati 14:55 - Reds reporter Hal McCoy joins to talk Reds baseball Find more at http://wcpo.com/AndyFurman
