The Cheap Seats

Somewhere between scribehood and fandom is a folding blue chair where the beer is always cold and the hometown team is always winning. Close enough to see the snap of a 1-2 slider yet far enough away for the crowd to become a part of the spectacle. Welcome to The Cheap Seats.

As a multimedia producer-reporter for TBO.com, Scott Butherus splits his time between event coverage and working the graveyard shift on the sports desk. When he's not writing pithy headlines and preparing TBO sports pages for your consumption, he can be found mixing it up with players and fans to find the stories that make sports more than just a game.

Scott came to TBO in 2007 after becoming the first graduate ever from the University of South Florida's multimedia journalism masters program. Scott is the host of TBO's Buccaneer pregame show, The Plank, and the TBO Rays Podcast. A native Floridian, he is the foremost expert on Spring Training baseball in the state and despite being a poor fisherman knows all the best spots. He is also the Tampa Tribune's reigning fantasy baseball champion.
