Bart back in ball

Bart Zeller - Ozarks, Mo.-bound.

Former Wild Things manager Bart Zeller is back in baseball.

According to the website for the Ozarks Professional Baseball League,Zeller has signed a contract to manage the league's Ozark, Mo., franchise.

The Ozarks Professional Baseball League is a new independent league that, according to its website, will start play in June with 10 teams. The league says it will have teams based in the midwest and its ballpark in Ozark -- the former home to the Frontier League's Springfield-Ozark Ducks -- will be the league's base. No franchise locations have been announced, so I'm assuming that the league will play all games at one field, Price Cutter Park, but I don't know for sure. Judging only by the website and a quick Google search, I'd say its 50-50 at best that this league plays a game this year.

Zeller was the manager of the Wild Things for 1 1/2 seasons before he abruptly and unexpectedly resigned last year just before the all-star break with Washington in first place in the East Division.
