The Beantown franchise has been acquired and moved north of the border, leaving the Boston Bombers as the only hot baseball ticket in town. “It’s gonna be great for revenue,” stated a Bomber’s team executive, “but, we would have loved to have a cross town rival.”As for Beantown, they have been purchased (in principle) by real estate tycoon Howard Trager. Trager, who has owned a few independent teams in other leagues, was ready for the big show. “I think he wanted to get into a league with longevity,” stated one Lp2 member, “it’s nice to be in a league that’s structured and built for the long haul. Especially, when you see so many leagues try to copy us and fail.”
The Beantown franchise is now located in Brossard and will be known as the Batons. Chris Taylor, who sold the franchise, leaves the league with a respectable 250-236 record. “He just got so caught up in work that he just didn’t have the time to commit to running a competitive franchise,” stated a family friend.
