Is Ken Rosenthal an Elf?

by Buzz Bissinger on Oct 29, 2008 10:04 PM EDT Comment 9 comments

In his interview with Brad Lidge tonight, it appeared as if Ken Rosenthal from Fox Sports was all of 4 feet tall. What a little, little man.

I'm actually a big fan of Rosenthal, but his diminuitive stature has definitely lowered my fandom of the always entertaining KR.

What are the communities thoughts of Kenny? One of the better baseball writers? I'd rank him right up there with Gammons, and well above hacks like Keith Law or Tracey Ringolsby.

not much of an interviewer

Not only is he a midget but he talks really slow like he is asking dramatic questions. Questions like “How’d you do it?” or “What does it feel like?” are not dramatic or hard hitting.

Rosenthal is nice

But I worry about his durability, given his slight frame.

I hear he makes up for it with guile, off-the-charts makeup, and loads of upside. He just plays the game the right way.

But...

He is a max effort guy. I don’t see him lasting long before injury.

Hm

I don’t think this is the real Buzz Bissinger.

I love KR

He has the hustle of David Eckstein. It is is great to see a short, white, male get a chance in the sports writing business.

rosenthal et al

they all stink. rosenthal, jon heyman, jayson stark, rob neyer, and on and on. just about every baseball analyst is a parrot who regurgitates any and all stories, legitimate or not.

the only true analyst who thinks for himself is gammons. and kurkjian isn’t bad.
