I can just imagine the number of leagues lined up to take this guy in.
I hope Jamie does not rear his ugly head in any other league in the near future. Has he been reached for comment?
There will be no five-game “Battle of Will County” series. Mr. Toole’s teams — the Will County CrackerJacks and the Illinois Lincolns — ended their “season” last night, negatively impacting his remaining players, managers and coaches and the fans of these teams.
