ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst, who has spent the bulk of his journalism career closely covering LeBron James, will be honored by a Cleveland Guardians affiliate this summer.
The Double-A Akron RubberDucks announced Tuesday they will be handing out a bobblehead of Windhorst to the first 1,000 fans for their game Sept. 14 against the Hartford Yard Goats.
Windhorst grew up in Akron and shares an alma mater with James, as both graduated from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Windhorst worked at the Akron Beacon Journal as the Cleveland Cavaliers’ beat reporter when James was drafted in 2003.
