Required reading- The Blue Jay Hunter on Scott Richmond

A tip of the cap to Ian at the Blue Jay Hunter for his excellent Scott Richmond piece posted today in anticipation of the 29 year-old rookie's start tonight.

Ian interviews Richmond's dad, Dr. Bob Richmond, a chiropractor now based in New Brunswick. Papa Richmond recounts Scott's youthful sporting endeavours, and his long road to the big leagues.

It's great to see a very fine Blue Jays blog commit a random act of journalism such as this one. Kudos, Ian.

  1. Thanks for the shoutout, Tao. But in all fairness, Bob Richmond provided most of the great content. He's a very proud baseball dad that really knows his baseball.

  2. Does anyone actually know if it is Bob posting on Wilner's blog?

  8. I think that's the second time those dudes were sitting in the Action Seats in the umpire getup. Though I noticed tonight that the one dude had a mask to go with it. Commitment to the bit.
