[edit] Biography

Ryan Paul Freel is a player for the Cincinnati Reds. In 2007 he began the season primarily playing center field, but he can also play both corner outfield positions, second base, and third base.


[edit] Farney

Freel gained some notoriety in August 2006 when The Dayton Daily News reported that Freel talks to an imaginary voice in his head named Farney. Said Freel: "He's a little guy who lives in my head who talks to me and I talk to him. That little midget in my head said, 'That was a great catch, Ryan,' I said, 'Hey, Farney, I don't know if that was you who really caught that ball, but that was pretty good if it was.' Everybody thinks I talk to myself, so I tell 'em I'm talking to Farney." Freel later said that Farney's name arose from a conversation with Reds trainer Mark Mann: "He actually made a comment like, 'How are the voices in your head?' We'd play around and finally this year he said, 'What's the guy's name?' I said, 'Let's call him Farney.' So now everybody's like, 'Run, Farney, run' or 'Let Farney hit today. You're not hitting very well.'"


[edit] Collision

On May 28, 2007 Freel was injured in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates when chasing a deep drive to right-center field. Freel and right fielder Norris Hopper collided, resulting in Freel's head and neck hitting Hopper and finally the warning track.

In the collision, Freel sustained a bruises to his head and neck, as well as a suspected concussion.

Freel, worryingly, has estimated that he's had nine or ten concussions in his life. [1]



Most people believe that Ryan Freel's best season was 2004, when he stole 37 bases and hit for a .277 average.
