Rick Fishman loves humor—seriously. The Clevelander also loves baseball and spent over a decade coaching youth teams in Lyndhurst, Ohio. Rick promised his bride a big diamond on her wedding day but, unfortunately, it came with four bases and a pitcher’s mound. Despite this, Lynn has put up her husband’s eccentric humor since 1984, the same year that Sandlot Summit was originally published on a typewriter. The new edition is a complete rewrite and includes the high energy illustrations of artist Doug Hoch.
The Fishmans have two adult children, Katie and Kyle. Scarlet and gray are the colors in this family as Rick and Katie are both Ohio State Buckeyes, graduating in 1974 and 2007 respectively. In 1992, Rick earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records by painting the world’s largest map on the playground of his kids’ elementary school. An accountant by trade, he recently took some time off for a brief but rewarding adventure as a high school math teacher. There’s a Russian connection here too. Rick’s grandparents bid the czar farewell in 1913 and settled in Canton, Ohio.
