Topic: Hitmen
AUGUST 28 - It took approximately 37 weeks of intense negotiations, but the Massapequa Hitmen today announced that they had finally come to an agreement with super prospect Jack Thomas Boland on a lifetime deal that will make him the future face of the erstwhile franchise. He is believed to be the youngest prospect in NYLISL history.
As a condition of the agreement, the young Boland agreed to be born into the Hitmen family and will begin an apprenticeship with the franchise as soon as he is old enough to roll dice. Although speculation persists that Jack Thomas (who will also answer to "JT") was named after St. Jack's Demons Owner/GM Jack Flynn, the Massapequa franchise confirmed today that he was in fact named after his maternal grandfather.
JT Boland, speaking to reporters from the maternity ward of a Long Island hospital, chose to quote a line of poetry from his father to describe his feelings about the new contract.
"Baseball is fun to play," Boland said. "Third base is the best position to play. Outfield is the worst position."
