Rollovers fail to make it out of Spring Training

These next few games will be the last for our beloved Rollovers. See below for comments from our fearless leader, Richiro.

Seattle WA (SNN) – A throng of softball enthusiasts looked on in shock and disappointment as the PA system informed them of the tragic news that nobody wanted to hear. In the manner of the Kennedy assassination, the moon walk and the Challenger disaster, people will most likely remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news: The Rollovers will not be playing spring softball.

A spokesman for the Rollovers organization stepped up to the podium to make the dire proclamation in front of thousands gathered at Seattle’s historic Roosevelt Commons (which locals affectionately refer to as simply “The ROC”) and countless millions linked via satellite worldwide.

“It was kind of expected, but we never thought it would come to this” said local Rollovers fan Patrick Tracy.

“I wept openly and I’m not ashamed to admit it; I love these guys.”

At the end of the address there was some hope for the future. It was announced that the team was looking into options for a summer league in either Redmond and/or Lynnwood. Manager Rick “Richiro” Hanner could not be reached for comments.


Thanks,

Richiro
