There was some sad news that came out this afternoon, as we found out that Tom Singer, former Pirates MLB.com beat writer, passed away on Monday at the age of 67. Most of you probably only knew Tom from his writing or his Twitter account. I was fortunate enough to get to know him in the press box over the last few years, and wanted to share some thoughts.
Tom was the nicest guy, and always a person I looked forward to seeing when I covered the big league team. We spent a lot of time talking during Spring Training, especially the past year when I would always return to McKechnie Field from Pirate City and wait with him in the clubhouse media room until the locker room opened.
