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.

On Baseball: Buchholz showing his evolution
BOSTON – Clay Buchholz’s first no-hit bid, back in 2007, was stopped after five innings by Theo Epstein, who was sitting in the Hadlock Field box seats. Since then, Buchholz’s career has dipped and peaked, much like the Red Sox team he pitches for. Buchholz would eventually get his no-hitter in 2007, and he came […]
