Franchise History - With all this talk about Mormons it seems only appropriate that the next team that we cover started in the very city where our last team ended…Salt Lake. They originated as the Jazz…and had as much trouble finding wins as a Jazzman would have finding an all night club at which to blow his horn and lay down with some easy women. The Salt Lake City Jazz started out mediocre and ended up terrible, posting the franchises worst ever record in Season 4 (44-118). After Season 4 the team was forced into auction when the former owner’s compound was raided by the FBI. Charges were filed…but that is for another article…we’re talking about baseball here. Everyone had given up on the Jazz…everyone except for RoyalOkie. He saw potential where no one else did, bought the team at auction, moved them to New Britain, CT and renamed them the Codgers. They have been on an upswing ever since…posting their first ever winning season in Season 6 (82-20) and generally moving away from disaster and toward mediocrity.
Franchise Outlook - The Codgers are on the move…when RoyalOkie bought them at auction they were one of the most hopeless teams in Glavine300. The team is led by former draft pick Clyde Blake and veteran pitcher Kennie Service with young talent Joe O'Keefe the minors waiting to get called up. With the sordid past of this franchise…up is about the only way the Codgers can go…
Overall good reveiw. Failed to mention that unless Service can pitch into his 50s, that there are no young arms to help improve this team....
