Kevin Thomas
Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball. It just seems that way, starting with his early days covering spring training for the St. Petersburg Times, to his current role of bi-locating at both Hadlock Field and Fenway Park, reporting on the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox. In the off-season, he still writes about baseball, while venturing to hockey rinks and basketball arenas, especially when it comes to the University of Maine and local colleges. Thomas has received awards for his work, but his greatest prize is home, which includes one patient wife, nine children and an aging chocolate Labrador.

You can read between the lines there since it’s possible Boston really wanted someone else, like high school right-handed pitcher Kohl Stewart (the Twins’ pick […]

On Baseball: Spending time in the cellar
Rain kept us from watching the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday night. It would have been Boston’s first look at the Los Angeles Angels. The woeful Los Angeles Angels. Actually, woeful describes a few L.A. teams. The Dodgers are bad. Even the basketball Lakers were miserable, despite a roster with Kobe Bryant, Dwight […]
