Kings' future in limbo?
Will the Kalamazoo Kings be back in the Frontier League in 2011?
The league's schedule says yes. The Kings are scheduled to play their season opener May 21 at home against the Traverse City Beach Bums.
There are, however, some people in Kalamazoo who are skeptical about the Kings' future, among them the sports staff at the Kalamazoo Gazette. In a recent story, the Gazette mentioned that questions about the Kings' future have not been answered definitively — despite numerous calls from the newspaper to management and staff, most of whom have declined to comment or failed to respond to messages.
So why doesn't a member of the Gazette drive across town to the Kings' office and get his questions answered? Seems they've already done that. The problem is the Kings' office at Mayors’ Riverfront Park has been locked for the majority of the offseason, with a sign on the door instructing visitors to contact office staff via phone, e-mail or mail.
They might get back to you, if you're lucky.
A person in the office located next to the Kings' office told the Gazette, "One person will pop in every now and then to check mail. Pretty much, just shortly after the end of the (2010) season, nobody is in that building daily.”
The Kings did participate (briefly) Monday in the dispersal draft of the Oakland County Cruisers. Kalamazoo had the first pick in the draft and traded it to defending league champion River City for shortstop Jorge Gutierrez (.222) and pitcher Tony Marsala (10-8, 4.20). The Kings then passed on their remaining picks.
