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.

Maine Marathon: ‘Perfect day’ for a long run
When the energetic and enthusiastic Jeremy Adler crossed the finish line Sunday morning, arms raised, it took only minutes for him to become chief spokesman for the Maine Marathon.

Adler spoke clearly and without pausing for a breath, as if he just completed a walk in the park — which it seemed like, given Adler’s four-minute winning margin.
