REYNOLDS, Cont.

(From The USA Today -- By Michael Hiestand)

HAROLD REYNOLDS filed a "wrongful termination" suit in Connecticut against ESPN in November after being fired as a baseball analyst in July.

As part of that suit, he's seeking his ESPN personnel files.

But ESPN, in a motion filed last week, said it should not have to release that information since it's "related to concerns by five young women about (Reynolds') sexual misconduct. Publicizing this information would constitute an invasion of the women's personal privacy."

Said ESPN's MIKE SOLTYS on Sunday, "Our court papers speak for themselves."

DANIEL L. ALTERMAN, Reynolds' lawyer, said Sunday that "ESPN's shoot-from-hip internal policy is under fire here because they failed to conduct a thorough and proper investigation before they fired Harold Reynolds. ESPN has defied the law by not turning over the personnel files."
