Schaumburg Wild Things?
The independent Northern League begins its regular season Thursday night and three former Wild Things have made the Schaumburg Flyers' opening day roster. Pitchers Jim Popp and Walt Novosel are joined by catcher Lance Koenig.
There is one other interesting name on the Schaumburg roster that diehard Pirates fans might recall. Jermaine Allensworth is a 36-year-old outfielder for the Flyers. Allensworth was the Pirates' first-round draft pick in 1993 and was supposed to be the center fielder who would replace Andy Van Slyke. Allensworth played only parts of three seasons with the Pirates.
