Meet Chris Richards, TFTC sign designer extraordinaire
May 16th, 2007 by Tim Riley
When we arrive at each ballpark, one of the things most crucial to our setup is our whiteboard sign. Since Day One, Chris has contributed his arts and crafts style to helping design each sign. This post is an behind the scenes look/tribute to his hard work.
Usually 20 to 30 minutes later, this is what the final product usually looks like:
I just got a call from Chris’s third grade spelling teacher, she wanted to thank Tim for catching the big spelling error that was on the short film. Hey Chris, too bad you can’t catch’em like that.
What an eye for grammar! Yes, the video reveals that originally there was a small typo which was fixed shortly after the video was shot. HA, I forgot about that.
Tim,
I’ll blame your buddy for the dropped first pitch. It reminded me of an Abreu throw from right. He’s having a wonderful year
out in New York. When you get to Yankee Stadium tell him he’s a bumb. Good luck on your trip. Do me a favor get me a cool hat from one of your stops. I’ll pay your cheap ass when I see you in Trenton. Can’t wait. Tom
Will a comment work? If so:
Mrs. Riley, it was nice of you to call Mr. Riley with my spelling error.
Tim\’s cousin Tom:
Tim learned to throw at the same school I learned to spell.
THANK YOU NESHAMINY SCHOOL DISTRICT!

Chrissy! What pretty pictures you made! Mommy is very proud of her big boy…I saved a spot on the Refridge….Good Boy!
Chris, go ahead and give yourself an ‘A’! You have to put up with Tim bugging you the whole time as you work….how is an artist like yourself able to truly focus with that kind of distraction around?
