Jed Rigney is an award-winning filmmaker who fancies himself a baseball writer. His baseball writing covers the full spectrum of general baseball randomness mixed with mostly coherent pop culture oddities. His work has been described as “prolific” (which isn’t really a compliment). He is an Aries and therefore quite courageous. He has never been arrested (though he was once “detained” briefly). And he hopes to one day see Gary Busey actually turn a tornado into a rainbow – if only just once.
