BSBL has one opening heading into the 1997 season. This time, it's the Kansas City Jacks that are available.

From 1960-1977, the Jacks were one of the glamour franchises of the BSBL, making the playoffs 10 times in that stretch and bringing home two titles. After a rough run through the '80's, the Jacks pulled it back together in the '90's, making it to the playoffs in '92, '93, and '95. This last season, '96, the Jacks made a late playoff push, but fell short, ultimately finishing the season at .500. If you take over the Jacks, you'll have a lot of flexibility in terms of planning. Use your cash to sign some free agents, trade some prospects, and make a playoff run? Or sell off those veterans, restock on prospects, and rebuild better than ever? You can pretty reasonably take either approach.

If you're interested, get in touch soon (details in first post of this thread) - there's still time to sign some free agents and get set for spring training!
