RICHARDSON SAYS HE WILL KEEP COACHING BASEBALL
Richardson, a disciplinarian who mellowed with age, reflects on 500 games and five decades in Montgomery County late 1980s teams, two pro signees, and the balance between discipline and teaching responsibility.

He plans to continue coaching and enjoys baseball more than work.
