BREAKING NEWS

To the fans of the Pioneers and baseball everywhere, I would like to announce my retirement from baseball. The stress of the season of getting this gang of misfits to a playoff caliber team was causing me pain and sickness. This team really didn't have any business making the playoffs but somehow pull together as a team, listen to what I was saying and played well all season. With me missing the playoff series against the Bucks I believe hurt the team. I believe with the Pioneers moving in the right direction, alot of young players coming through the system will bring glory to the team for sometime. So I say with the broken heart goodbye to everyone.
