Damn. Watched a lot of Freel as a Reds fan and at the Bats in Triple A.

ETA: I remember him talking about the "voice" he heard in his head too. I think it was pretty clear he dealt with some mental issues. Poor guy.

"I've got this little midget in my head. I was like, 'Hey, Farney, I don't know if that was you who caught that ball. That was pretty good if that was you.'" --Freel

"He talks to me once in awhile. The guys give me a hard time about this extra man in my head." --Freel

"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.'" --Freel, on how Farney originated after a conversation with trainer Mark Mann
