I have to give credit where credit is due. Maybe it's because I'm a news-geek and am always intrigued when I see my journalism colleagues in action.Big thumbs-up to Connecticut Post's Christian Abraham (top) and News 12's Bill Gonillo, who you'll see on SWC sidelines this fall. Their images -- still and video -- have been seen all over the world today.
Yep, they were there for the whole Jose Offerman incident that took place last night at Harbor Yard. Both were thrust into the spotlight because they were doing their job, but I give them the big thumbs-up because they did their job extremely well when they could have missed out.
Christian was definitely in the right place at the right time, and his still photos show Jose Offerman swinging the bat at Bridgeport Bluefish pitcher Matt Beech and catcher John Nathans. Bill got to the game after the incident, but went into investigative reporter mode, catching Offerman being taken away by policemen, and asked Offerman, "Is there anything you'd like to say?"A journalists' job is not as easy as it looks, and I just want to congratulate them on a job well done. If you see either of these guys under the Friday Night Lights, give them a pat on the back.
