From SLC Waco TX.

He can be a trivia answer to Ryan's first 100 mph strike out.

Or he can be remembered as a gentleman that assisted in changing the lives of many youths, especially for his time at Paul Quinn College in Dallas.

He also worked (ministered?) at one of the Methodist Childrens Homes before the state took control over most of the orphanages.

Discussing the World Champion Texas Rangers with a granddaughter and realized how much of our history that we are losing, literally day by day, as we all age.

Richards was a good man and tried to make a difference as a coach.

What can we do to make our corner of the world a little better?

I remember him. There was a photo in Sports Illustrated of him striking out when Ryan delivered the 100 mph fastball.
