Rob-Sally-Rains

Rob and Sally Rains were inducted into the St. Louis Media Hall of Fame in 2019.

 Rob Rains and Sally Tippett Rains run STLSportsPage.com along with other writers and contributors. Rains is a credentialed reporter in the locker rooms and on the field, at the Winter Meetings, at the Draft and at Spring Training.

The site was started as a supplement to a radio show Rob Rains and B.J. Rains did in St. Louis in 2012 but it quickly grew beyond expectations and when the show ended due to format change at the radio station, the advertisers were all asked if they wanted to stay on. Most said yes and none of them have left. We could not do all we do without them.
