Paul Daugherty: Reds' new broadcaster John Sadak won’t be out-worked, think he’s all that

New Cincinnati Reds broadcaster John Sadak started his career as a logger, and that has nothing to do with chainsaws, flannel shirts or brawny paper towels. It does explain John Sadak.

I’d never heard of logging. I asked Marty Brennaman and he’d never heard of it. Dan Hoard had passing knowledge, after I’d explained to him what it was. John Sadak loved logging. In 2003, Sadak the recent college graduate went to work for the New York Yankees. He watched Yankees games at the Stadium and put them on videotape.

“I had access to home and road TV and radio calls," Sadak explained Monday.
