Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
Sad news. It's good that he likely wasn't despondent over being out of the game, since he had the coaching gig. I hope his family finds some peace over the loss.

Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
I just read this on Yahoo and the first thing I thought about were all the concussions he had, wondering if it could be similar for him to what so many NFL players have suffered with.
I never saw a player put his body in the game as much as Freel did. His suicide is tragic mostly because of how this sort of thing impacts his wife, daughter and other family who are left with so many questions and the undeniable pain that a suicide inflicts on each day after it is done.

Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
Tragic news. Always enjoyed watching him play. He was one of those versatile players you hoped might somehow make his way back to the Reds bench someday. I had lost track of him and wondered what he was doing just this week. Very sad to hear at what should be a joyous time. Hope he finds peace and his family find comfort.

Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
He was on record saying he'd probably suffered 9 or 10 concussions in his life.
Makes you wonder. Just horrible news. RIP #6  http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?co...y_20192625&v=3

Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
Ryan Freel was a bright spot on some bad Reds ballclubs. Even when the Reds weren't winning, players like Freel made the Reds worth watching every night. RIP Ryan.

Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
Freel often talked about his imaginary friend "Farney". I always took it as a joke, but now I wonder if it wasn't something deeper.
RIP Ryan Freel.

Re: Ryan Freel commits suicide
Can we set up some sort of RedsZone donation program to benefit his family?
