You are correct about the visa issues. Since the teams inception into the U.S. the players and coach operate on what is called an H2B visa which is very limited and good for a year. The reason is because the players are considered professional atheletes as they get paid while they are here. The returning players from last year do not have a problem because they are good for a year and a certain number of them are secured for the team each year and they are issued in October. This year our State Senator Susan Collins introduce a new "Special Visa" that is also backed by Major League Baseball due to them having the same issues with getting foreign players into the U.S. in minor league system. So I believe this will be the last year that we will have to face this issues because believe me it sucks more than you could imagine watch all of you get to see your teams play before October. I am sure the Smokes they smuggled in did not help either ;D BUTT we traded that BUTT head anyway. No.. No.. that's probably not it. It must be something else.
