Ray Frager joined
The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for
The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.
Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at
The Trenton Times and
The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.
Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of
The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.
He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
You know how sports ratings news here often includes the information that Baltimore's numbers have been below the national average? Not this time. The rating for Saturday morning's Wimbledon women's final on WBAL ranked as fifth-highest among the nation's biggest TV markets. The 5.4 percent of the audience trailed only West Palm Beach, Fla. (6.8); Richmond, Va. (6.4); Norfolk, Va. (5.6); and St. Louis (5.5.)
