Head baseball coach Rod Delmonico announced that former Seattle Mariner second baseman Harold Reynolds will be the guest speaker at the 11th annual Tennessee Leadoff Banquet. The event, held at the Knoxville Marriott, is set for Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2003 at 7 p.m. ET.
Reynolds, a studio analyst for ESPN's Baseball Tonight since 1996, has also handled commentator duties for the networks' coverage of the NCAA College World Series and Little League World Series.
The switch-hitting second baseman was a three-time Gold Glove Award winner during his 10 years in Seattle. Reynolds closed out his career in 1994 after one-year stints with Baltimore and California, respectively.
In 1987 he led the American League with 60 steals, and in 1988 he led the league with 11 triples.
Reynolds, a two-time All-Star during his 12-year Major League career, attended San Diego State and Canada (Calif.) College before becoming the number one draft pick by Seattle in 1980.
