The Dominican Republic lost one of its most famous sports journalists on Friday night. As he watched the Licey-Aguilas baseball game, Johnny Naranjo passed away. The news ran like lightening through all the broadcast booths and took some of the luster from the Aguilas' victory. Naranjo was a civil engineer who graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, but who much preferred the sporting life and dedicated his entire career to transmitting and writing about sports, mainly baseball. His programs, which aired daily, were required listening for all sports fans. 'Sports with Johnny Naranjo' aired every morning, including the day he passed away.
Naranjo put up a good fight, and the whole country will miss his commentaries.
