Gambz, the new owner and operator of For Love of the game has decided upon wholesale changes for his franchise. In the middle of the night he wrestled his staff and players out of bed, shuffling them on board bus charters headed to parts unknown.
Once all personnel were accounted for Gambz announced they were collectively headed for Indiana where they would be renamed the Black Sox and their games would now be played in dreaded Coors Field.
On the lighter side, manager Billy Martin apparently jumped ship outside of Foxburg, Pennsylvania (population 257), assuming he was to be fired upon reaching their final destination. No word on whether Gambz intends to bring him back.
A centralized Diamond Mind Baseball league, using every full time player from 1871 'till today.
My bet is that you will see Pete Rose as a player-manager within several days. Just a hunch. Pete swears he himself will bet only on his own team. The rumor mill has it that the Daffiness Boys may pick up Hal Chance to help change Pete's perspective on things, if you get my drift. As it is, his fellow and perhaps soon to be former teammate, Heinie Zimmerman, is already attempting to convince Pete to slack off his Charlie Hustle routine for his new potential boss, as it is well known that the Great Gambino is cheaper then even the penurious Charles Comiskey. Back-fence talk seems to be indicating that Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker already have wind of what is going on, and are looking into the prospect of doing some insider-trading deals, if you get my drift.

Sources have it that Heinie also continues to be sore at Kennesaw "Mountain" Landis for not only restricting his play before this season to a corn-field in Iowa and an obscure minor league squad located in Hoboken NJ, but continuing to black-list him from admittance to Cooperstown for permanent baseball immortality. Heinie notes that he is the only triple-crown winner not presently in the Hall of Fame. However, manager Wilbert Robinson may be having second thoughts about giving Zimmerman a chance to redeem himself, as he is presently batting a putrid .161, with but one ribbie and run scored, for Uncle Robbie's dismal Daffiness Boys. The fans of the Trolley-Dodgers are a bit restless, as they wonder whether Heimie, as well as a number of other under-producing sluggers such as Sammy Sosa, Donnie Baseball, Jim Edmonds, Billy Williams, and, heaven forbid, Yogi Berra - all currently under the Mendoza line - could be tanking it along with Heimie...story still developing...

Heinie is batting a buck n' change and thinks he is an all-star.
