My guest on this episode of Nobody’s Safe w/Brady Laber is Rich Linville who each night writes the Scoreboard Stumper question during Cincinnati Reds games at Great American Ballpark. Rich grew up a Reds fan on the Eastside of Cincinnati during the 1970s. He attributes his deep love for the Reds from the radio calls each night by the legendary team of Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall. Interestingly enough his favorite baseball player was Kansas Royals third basemen and Hall of Famer George Brett. As a child of he 70’s, Rich talks about collecting baseball cards, reading box scores in the newspaper and watching the national game of the week and “This Week in Baseball.” Rich graduated from Anderson High School and later Northern Kentucky University. He interned in the sports department at WLWT Channel 5 in Cincinnati. This is where he was given the opportunities to join the Cincinnati Reds scoreboard production crew. It was 1988 and the Reds has just installed a video board at Riverfront Stadium and initially relied heavily on employees from Channel 5 to help operate the board. As an intern, Rich started as a fill-in and after a couple of seasons was a full-time crew member starting with the 1990 season. In 1991, he was given the full-time assignment of writing the Scoreboard Stumper question. This question was and still is a staple of the ballpark experience at both Riverfront Stadium (later known as Cinergy Field) and Great American. Rich has made this responsibly his own and spends time year-round developing questions for all 81 home dates. We obviously talk about some of the details of how the questions are constructed. This veers off into a conversation about Rich’s appearance on a trivia show that aired on the MLB Network. Rich also has had some great behind-the-scenes stories about his interactions with famous personalities that he comes across at the ballpark. We finish up with some of the great moments in Reds history that Rich witnessed in person at his perch in the Scoreboard control room over the course of the last 33 seasons.

Randy Poffo was born November 15, 1952 in Columbus, Ohio. His father, Angelo was a professional wrestler in the 1950’s and 60’s. Angelo was featured on an episode of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not for his ability to do sit-ups for hours on end. Randy would go on to graduate from Downer Grove North High School in Illinois. Quickly after his graduation, the St. Louis Cardinals Organization would sign him as a catcher.Poffo was placed in the minor leagues where he would spend most of his days playing outfield and developing in with the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds farm systems. He had an at-home training technique where he’d swing a bat at a hanging tire to strengthen his hands and ensure he used his legs when swinging. This exercise was picked up by his teammate/roommate, and eventual major-leaguer, Larry Herndon. In a collision at home plate, Randy injured his right shoulder; his natural throwing shoulder. No big deal, he learned to throw with his left instead. In 4 minor league seasons, he hit .254 with 16 home runs and 129 RBIs.
Like many baseball fans growing up in Northern Kentucky, Andrew was influenced by Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall calling Cincinnati Reds games on the radio. Andrew got his start working in baseball at the tender age of 14 in the summer of 2005 when he started to cover the Florence Freedom of the independent Frontier League for the OurSports Central (https://www.oursportscentral.com) website. Andrew gives credit and thanks to Freedom manager at the time Jamie Keefe along with his staff especially pitching coach Chris Hook (http://m.mlb.com/mil/roster/coach/116123/chris-hook) and bench coach John Christman for allowing him the opportunity to come into the coach’s office and learn about the game. Brady helped mentor Andrew in the Freedom press box but not without some good-natured ribbing that sometimes might have bordered on hazing. Brady along with play-by-play announcer Jeff Johnson and press box workers Mitch Morrison, Aaron Zupka and Rob Ellington took Andrew under their wing thought the course of that summer and beyond. In 2006, Andrew becomes part of the game day staff for the Freedom while also still writing for OurSports Central. As time goes on, Andrew is finally getting a chance to do some broadcasting, in small dosages, working with both the radio voice of the Freedom Roger Redmon. Though the relationships made working with the Freedom, Andrew is hired by Mike Anderson to work in the sports information department at Northern Kentucky University (https://nkunorse.com) upon enrolling into college. This gives Andrew the opportunity to call soccer games for NKU as a freshman. This is also where Andrew begins to work with John Asalon calling NKU baseball games. Andrew starts doing middle innings for Norse games all the while being critiqued by “Johnny A.” Andrew also recalls his first solo broadcast job was calling high school basketball games for his alma matter Bishop Brossart. Local legend Dave Schabell who founded the website bmustangs.com (http://bmustangs.com) gives Andrew a chance to call games for the Mustangs. As a recent college graduate Andrew begins to work as the radio play-by-play announcer and later on the TV side for the NKU women’s basketball program. He credits head coach Dawn Plitzuweit (@CoachDawnP) and her assistant coach Lynn Plett (https://gomountainlions.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/coaches/lynn-plett/485) for being instrumental in his development during this time. His professional baseball career is starting to get off the ground as well and he begins that journey as an intern for two seasons with the Lexington Legends (https://www.milb.com/lexington/). The Legends were at the time Class-A affiliate of the Houston Astros and Andrew is working under local broadcasting legend Keith Elkins. Also, during this process Andrew begins to shadow Louisville Bats (https://www.milb.com/louisville/) lead play-by-play announcer Jim Kelch (@KelchJim). This spawned a mentorship that was very instrumental in Andrew’s development as a young up-an-coming broadcaster. Andrew’s first full-time job in broadcasting was with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barrie RailRaiders (https://www.milb.com/scranton-wb/) in 2013. The RailRaiders are the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. Andrew talks about the tough love he received from his boss John Sadak (@johnsadak). Both Curtis Granderson and Derek Jeter spent a significant amount of time in Scranton doing injury-rehab assignments and both were very good to Andrew. He has some great stories about each one proving they were big stars but still were also nice to the people that were still working their way up the ladder. After a brief stop in Bowling Green, Kentucky working for the Hot Rods (https://www.milb.com/bowling-green) of the Tampa Bay organization, Andrew moves on to his current location. For the last six years he has worked for the Indianapolis Indians (https://www.milb.com/indianapolis) in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Andrew talks about working under the dean of International League broadcasters Howard Kellman (@HowardKellman). We wrap up the conversation talking about Andrew having the call for NKU men’s basketball qualifying for its first ever appearance in the NCAA tournament by virtue of winning the Horizon League tournament.
