CARLISLE, Pa. - After reports surfaced that beloved Dacar Auto Radiator Stadium and its hubcap-adorned awnings would likely be razed as part of the hotly debated redevelopment plans in Queens, General Manager Pasiana Rodriguez began shopping her team. Interest was not high in the middling franchise, but one legendary athlete emerged from the group of potential buyers. Jim Thorpe (All-American!), motivated by the All Time Baseball league's curious expansion to Central Pennsylvania, will bring the 'Mechanics' to his hometown of Carlisle. Thorpe has negotiated with Dickinson College to use their field for the 2013 season.
"We are motivated with the recent uptick in interest in the all-timers here in Pennsyltucky - er - Central Pennsylvania, and we have tempered our uncertainty regarding the demographics of that Pretty Ladies squad. Many Shamokin and Lancaster season ticket holders have already approached us regarding their concern about supporting a brand new franchise, so we expect to sell out our stadium, which seats 2,500, on a regular basis."
The franchise will remain as the 'Mechanics' in recognition of the town's famous car shows.
I take no credit for this wonderful news blurb. Thanks Matt B for sending this in.
A centralized Diamond Mind Baseball league, using every full time player from 1871 'till today.
Shocked he didn't move to another cenrtal PA town...Mechanicsville.
