Biographical Information

Richard Milo was an excellent baseball player as a youth, playing center field, making it to the Canadian national team that played host to the 1975 Intercontinental Cup, finishing fourth in the tournament. However, he made a bigger mark as a journalist.

He first started working for French-language weekly newspapers in Quebec in 1977 and began covering the Montreal Expos in 1977. In 1978, he joined Le Devoir a very intellectual daily newspaper that nevertheless had a sports page, but made his fame as the principal French-language baseball writer for the Canadian Press, the Canadian national press agency, starting in 1985. He would cover the Expos for the agency until their departure from Montreal following the 2004 season. He also covered other sports such as soccer, hockey and Canadian football, retiring in 2008.

In 2022, he was the recipient of the Jack Graney Award given by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame for outstanding work in covering baseball in the media. He is also a member of the Quebec Baseball Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 2007.
