Mike Trickey
/in /by Jacob PomrenkeAfter failing to achieve his childhood dream of becoming the starting center fielder for the San Francisco Giants, Mike Trickey turned his attention to covering sports for radio stations and newspapers in British Columbia. Later, as a foreign correspondent for Southam News, he sought out opportunities to cover events connected to baseball. He covered the 1991 Hot Dog Summit between U.S. President George Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, at which they met int the bowels of Toronto’s SkyDome to discuss how to support Mikhail Gorbachev’s efforts to democratize the Soviet Union and how to end apartheid prior to watching the All-Star game. He was in Havana in March 1999 when the Baltimore Orioles met the Cuban national team, marking the first time an American professional team had played in Cuba since the 1959 revolution. He also has a remarkably poor record in far too many fantasy baseball leagues.
