The youngest of eight children, Harold knows all about competition. He was always the ball boy, batboy and a self-proclaimed "candy boy."

"I was always hanging around my older brothers and if I would go and get them candy after their games, they would play catch with me, let me take some hitting or shoot some baskets."

The advantage of being the youngest was that his brothers always set such a high standard. Harold's brother Don was a baseball and football star at the University of Oregon and played six seasons in professional baseball, reaching the major leagues with the San Diego Padres in 1978 and 1979. Don is in the University of Oregon Hall of Fame and has worked in professional baseball since 1981.

Another brother, Larry Reynolds played football and baseball at Stanford where he was coached by legends Bill Walsh and Mark Marquess. He was a four-year starter as a defensive back and in baseball he was the 1977 Pac-10 Southern Division Co-Player of the Year and First Team All-Pac-10. Larry is in the Stanford Hall of Fame. Larry has owned and operated Reynolds Sports Management in Riverside, California for the past 20 years.

Harold's high school coach would always encourage him by saying that if he worked hard, he could be as good as his brothers.

Harold always thought he would play professional basketball. He was a ball boy for the Oregon State University basketball team and got to attend many of their home games. Players that came through Corvallis included greats such as Bill Walton, Lew Alcindor, Paul Westphal, Pete Maravich and Gus Williams.

One of Harold's childhood friends was Mickey Riley, whose father, Jack Riley was the head baseball coach at Oregon State University. Mickey got Harold interested in baseball and the history of the game. While in junior high school, Mickey used to steal his dad's keys so he and Harold could get into the batting cages late at night. Mickey pitched to Harold a lot - he was ambidextrous. Harold got to face a righthander and a lefthander in the same session.

Harold's first thoughts of playing professional baseball came when he was 14 and Cincinnati Reds scout Larry D'Amato handed him a business card after a high school game. D'Amato encouraged Harold to keep working hard to develop his talents.

After his senior year of high school, Harold was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the sixth round. Harold did not sign and opted to attend San Diego State University and Cañada College in Redwood City, California. The Seattle Mariners drafted Harold in the 1st round (2nd pick) of the 1980 amateur draft (Secondary Phase).
