CINCINNATI -- A pair of sportswriters was robbed early Wednesday at gunpoint as they left Great American Ball Park.
According to police, 59-year-old Barry Bloom, a national writer for MLB.com, and another man were leaving the ballpark shortly before 2 a.m. when a man approached them with a gun and demanded their wallets.
Media accounts indicate the second victim was Thomas Harding, who covers the Colorado Rockies for MLB.com.
