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.
Comments
He wasn't quite as bad as the "boom goes the dynamite" guy, but if he was sitting on a TV set staring into a camera and not not thinking about the camera on him he might have become even more legendary. And thanks for linking to this on Deadspin because the comments there were hilarious, although highly almost borderline offensive.

Ahhhhh, the "Boom goes the dynamite" guy. I wonder if he's out of therapy yet. As funny as the entire clip is, I love the ending best when the lead anchor outros the sports segment and the kid looks like he would just matter-of-factly off himself right there on camera if he had the opportunity.
