Kirby and Altizer meet for the first time since 2007Gwangju, South Korea--AP--Current and former Bigs commissioners Sam Kirby and Whit Altizer sat down together for the first time since Kirby took the Bigs helm two years ago. Tensions have been high between the two since Altizer abdicated his throne and took his fan favorite Oxford Otters to South Korea in 2007. Last month, the two finally came to agreement over holding peace talks in Korea this week. "I am hoping to rebuild a bridge," Kirby said at Ronald Reagan National Airport before his flight, "I think this will be vital to rebuilding the Bigs."
Kirby has been under scrutiny this year after taking a healthy Bigs and driving it almost completely into the ground. Ticket sales have been down and enthusiasm among players and personnel have been at an all time low. Many hope that Altizer's youth and progressive vision can help the Bigs out its downward spiral. "I've got high hopes," Baton Rouge Biscuits owner Joey Abel tweeted last week, "under Altizer we were on top of the world."
The meeting between the two took place over Hites and kimchi but little else is known about what the details of the meeting. However, it is clear their are plenty of matters to address. "They are playing this close to their chest," Bigs VP Harry Jazzercise said today, "I think they have a lot of personal stuff to sort through first before they get to rebuilding the league."

ReplyDeleteI'm new to this "blog" thing, or whatever it is you kids call it. Can I make my own posts, or do I have to just comment on yours? Also, and this is a double question...Does Sam age like a t-bone outside of a fridge, or is it just me...and also, if he wasn't so unfortunately white and red-headed, wouldn't he look like Data from Goonies? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHave we gotten an over/under yet from Vegas on how many managers will join? Pat's on cruise control, JP's probably giving his wife a continuous massage, and everyone else has lost interest in the league. I guess we can always count on Brittle not having anything better to do, but I'm gonna go ahead and take the under, no matter what it is.
