Parker not unemployed for long
Chad Parker, who managed the River City Rascals to the 2009 West Division title and to within one win of the Frontier League championship, wasn't unemployed for very long. Parker resigned after the Frontier League playoffs, saying he wanted to return to his home state of Georgia and pursue job opportunities there.
Well, Parker found a job - in Illinois.
Parker has been named the manager of the Joliet Jackhammers of the independent Northern League. That's the same job that Jeff Isom left the Wild Things for after the 2003 season.
Parker will be working under Joliet's new assistant to the general manager/baseball operations (and here's a name out of the past) former Pirates outfielder John Cangelosi.

so much for being a man of his word, eh?
I seem to remember a guy named Favre saying a couple of years ago that he wanted to spend more time with his family. Any idea what he's doing now? ;-)
I went past the stadium this morning and the natural grass looks good.
No sign of taxpayer turf or digging equipment.
Where did HE ever say he was leaving for his wife and family. That was a statement by the River City GM to save face for losing the FL Manager of the Year. They gave him no budget to work with and he still won. In the end, instead of the owner rewarding him with the Normal managerial job, he wanted to stick him back in River City with even a smaller budget. Know your facts.
