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: Bard’s a key to Sox bullpen
BOSTON – Daniel Bard’s gifted arm and effortless windup has him firing 100 mph fastballs. Add in a hard curveball and an occasional change-up, and Bard is Boston’s best bullpen option until the ninth inning (and maybe for the ninth, but that is a subject for another day). But don’t overdo it with Bard. If […]
