  1. I love London baseball posted on 07/21/2012 11:33 AM
    Although no formal statement has been issued, it is my hope that the Rippers stay in London. I believe with a modified marketing and promotional strategy they will become successful here. It is unfortunate that the team faces the situation they're in. Despite this reality though, the Rippers team are giving it their all to advance their standings in this inaugural 1st year in the Frontier League. Baseball lover, mother hen of the bull pen.
