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.

On Baseball: The catcher from Yale is a lock to improve
PORTLAND – He has tried to read Immanuel Kant in the clubhouse, but Ryan Lavarnway “decided that wasn’t the best atmosphere to seep through that.” So Lavarnway might read a Clive Cussler novel and save the philosophy for later. But he will return to philosophy, which was his major at Yale. And Lavarnway doesn’t glance […]
