The rift between Adam Dunn and the Cincinnati media is pretty well known at this point. It exists mostly because the media likes to focus on what Dunn does poorly, namely his play in the field and his propensity to strike out a ton, rather than what he does well, which is mash the crap out of the baseball. But there should be no fear now, because Dunn has ended his year-long feud with Cincy Enquirer columnist Paul Daugherty and started speaking with Daugherty again. And Daugherty is encouraged because he knows Adam Dunn is serious about baseball.
The number one indicator of how serious a player will be in a given season: amount of bass fishing done. Richard Daugherty would probably believe that the decline in pirates (real pirates, not the Pittsburgh variety) is the direct cause of global warming.I asked him how much fishing he'd done in the offseason. Dunn is an obsessive bass man. In the past, it had been a metaphor for his what-the-hang attitude.
He said he hardly fished at all. That's when I knew he was serious.
