As the UBL heads into the offseason, a rookie GM has been given the tough task of bringing the Detroit Chargers to the postseason. After seeing their expansion counterpart the Milwaukee Mustangs win the 1902 World Series, Chargers supporters were furious to find out they are the oldest team without a playoff appearence.

The task will be given to Corey Parrish, a 35-year-old from Ft. Worth, TX who just finished up the season as an Assistant GM for the St. Louis Lightning. The favorite to replace Hall-of-Fame Pitcher and GM Jeff Russell, the Chargers were able to lure away the up-and-coming GM prospect.

A former 1st Round Pick by the then Chicago Panthers in 1884, "Big House" never really lived up to his potential in the big leagues, recording just 47 big league innings from 1890-1892 before tearing his labrum the following season, causing his career to end at just 27. From that point on, he decided to work in the Lightning Front Office, and has slowly worked his way up the baseball ladder.

The details of the contract are currently unknown, but it's widely assumed he'll be under contract for at least 5 seasons as the Chargers owner Jorge Herrera has full faith in Parrish bringing this currently .500 team to the postseason.

Expect a lot of personnel changes in what should be a busy and exciting season for Charger fans!
