Babe Truth

FYI - not all summer leagues have that same limitation.  The Alaska league has had their share of players well past college and saw Spaceman Lee throw seven a couple years ago.

Yeah, there's a couple of such leagues in the Midwest too. The Frontier League is heavily into Illinois and the American Assn. is far flung from Gary to El Paso to Winnipeg, with the St. Paul Saints familiar to most fans. Seeing Darryl Strawberry launch a couple towering longballs for the Saints in a game in Madison years ago when he was on the comeback trail was pretty memorable.   
It must take a pretty dedicated guy who's not quite ready to give up the dream to be willing to endure bus rides like the 1700 miles from Laredo to Winnipeg.  The pay is so awful that I think it could only be called semi-pro baseball.  I wonder how the leagues avoid minimum wage regulations.

That's a professional league, however. The other summer leagues being referenced are amateur leagues.

FIFY!!!

I would hope so!!!

The line-ups he faced this summer were likely a far cry from the ones he had success against last spring during his Pointer season or will be seeing in the future for UWO.

Things could get VERY interesting in Oshkosh next week!!!!

Coach Lechnir's appeal is being heard Tuesday morning and needless to say, the article in the Journal Sentinel might have just been the tip of the iceberg as far as the details that were released.

Well... Today is the day! Anyone have a feeling one way or the other on Lechnir's appeal? I can only imagine the tension on campus if he is reinstated. I look forward to wading the result of the case on here.

I don't see how they'll be able to hire anyone new until this thing is resolved.  If it ends up in court that could be some time from now.  Who's going to want to take a position that they might end up losing if it went to court and Lechnir prevailed.    Maybe they could find an interim person on his current staff who would be willing to fill in but I don't see anyone from outside thinking this is a good spot.

I'm all for lechnir getting job but am confused.  Don't coaches get **** canned all the time?  I don't understand how he could just get his job back or why he would even want it back with the way he's been treated.  Why don't he just take another job maybe even a d1 job where he belongs?  He's accomplished so much in d3 why stick around and deal with all the non sense?

Doesn't he have children (or a child) still in a local high school?  Also if what I was told earlier is correct he is a year or so away from being fully vested in the state's retirement program.  Those might be reasons he wants to stay.  Also I don't know him personally but the impression I've always had is that he isn't the type to be pushed around by anyone.
